Located in Lapu-Lapu City, the shrine commemorates Portuguese explore Ferdinand Magellan.

From there, you will travel a short distance to where the Lapu-Lapu Monument stands. This 20-meter-high bronze sculpture honors Lapu-Lapu, the Philippines' first national hero, in full battle gear. Along with the shrine and the monument, the whole park honors the historic Battle of Mactan.
