Rizal Shrine is one of the best places to visit in Calamba, Laguna. A visit to his hometown and seeing the place where he grew up will give you a glimpse of the place where he had been groomed to become one of the Philippines’s greatest men of all time. Rizal Shrine showcases a two-story, Spanish-Colonial style house in Calamba, Laguna which was reproduced in 1950. Antique items and memories of his childhood, depicted in pictures that are displayed, are just a few things to see which remain to be relished. So get to know the man at his home in this little town in Calamba and our #1 go to “pasyalan” when I was elementary.

The Rizal Monument in Calamba is a monument built to commemorate the sesquicentennial (150th) birth anniversary of Dr. José Rizal, the Philippines' unofficial national hero and the greatest son of Calamba. It is a 6.7 metres (22 ft) statue sculpted by Jonas Roces and is located at The Plaza, a 6.7-hectare (17-acre) park in front of the Calamba City Hall Complex along Bacnotan Road in the barangay of Real. Mayor Joaquin Chipeco started the idea of building the tallest Rizal monument as a gift of the people of Calamba as a tribute to its greatest son. He realized that it is proper and fitting to have the tallest monument in honor of Rizal in his hometown
