Hello Fellow travelers of this community!How are you doing right now?I do hope everything is fine and well and today.One of the place that got me attracted during my visit in this place was the big changes in this Shrine.A lot of things were changed making me reminisced about the past.
This is called the Mactan Shrine,as it name implied this was just located in the Island of Mactan, Lapu-Lapu City, Philippines.
The Lapu-Lapu Monument was one of the proof that this City brought some legacy to Filipino people.
Lapu-Lapu was believed to be a hero of the place when he fought and defeated Magellan ,Portuguese explorer during the Battle of Mactan tracing back it's history in 1521.
This landmark was very famous when you want to visit this place.
This was believed to be the Magellans's monument,it's old and partially destroyed after the typhoon Odette hit the place.
According to the old people maintaining the place, he narrated that this known National Shrine was established in the year 1969.This place was believed to be the place where the Battle of Mactan was being held.
This placed changed a lot the last time I visited in this Shrine last 2019,the ground was not being beautified like this.
The place was a good spot for kids,and even adults who wanted to take pictures and liked to hang out with their friends.
This was a very wide area, a lot of activities can be done in this place.
This Mactan Memorial Shrine also exhibited a memorabilia which showcased also the monument of Magellan.Engraved in his monument the contribution of this explorer in the place of Lapu-Lapu.
This sculpture was repainted way back in 2021 and regained back its beauty.This National Shrine was being preserved and conserved already.
Inside the museum you can see the memorabilia left by these two explorer--Lapu-Lapu and Magellan.
Near the memorabilia where the Magellans monument was located was a big stones of obelisk.This different kind of Stones were dedicated to the first circumnavigator of the Earth,who was Magellan.
This place recounted the death and defense of the two explorer during their fight.
This will be all for today!Hope you find this helpful to you when you want to visit this place.
