Rizal Shrine (Intramuros)
The Rizal Shrine in Intramuros (Filipino: Museo ni José Rizal Intramuros) is a museum dedicated to the lifework of José Rizal. It is located on Santa Clara Street, Fort Santiago, Intramuros, Manila, Philippines. Fort Santiago served as barracks for Spanish artillery soldiers during Spain's colonization of the islands. The museum is located in the building where Rizal spent his final night and hid his famous poem Mi último adiós (My Last Farewell) in an oil lamp later given to his sister, Trinidad. The shrine is home to various memorabilia such as the shells he collected in Dapitan, books, manuscripts and artwork.
