Rizal Landing Site is one of the latest developed monuments
in honor of the Philippines’
National Hero, Dr. Jose P. Rizal. Rizal Landing Site is situated in Sta. Cruz beach where
Jose Rizal landed at 7:00 pm on July 17, 1892 to begin his expatriation life in Dapitan. Together with Captain Delgras
and three artillery men, they walked through Sta. Cruz Street with a “farol de combate” or
lantern going to the Casa Real.
He was submitted to Don Ricardo Carnicero, a Spanish Military governor of Dapitan during that time. Later on his exile,
Rizal made the Relief Map of
Mindanao and the City Plaza Square. He attended Sunday
Mass at the nearby St. James
Church during his stay.
The Rizal
Landing Site is
visible when you’re in any part of Sta. Cruz Beach in Sunset Boulevard. Because
of its bright lights, it becomes eye-catching at night. A big cross stands in
the middle of the perpendicular road fronting the monument. The Rizal
Landing Site is a
conventional 15 minutes walk from Gloria
Fantasyland.
