Rizal Shrine

rizal1Rizal Shrine is the pride of Calamba, Laguna. This is where Dr. Jose P. Rizal grew up. The house is a two-storey building that boasts of a Spanish-vintage architecture where Juan Nakpil was responsible. Their place has a huge lot area. Within the compound of the Rizal Shrine, you will also find the nipa hut where the young Rizal and his siblings play. Near the nipa hut, a sculpture of the young Rizal with his dog stood. The compound also houses the museum where Rizal memorabilia can be found. Outside the museum, you could find paintings which was for the contest in lieu of Rizal day when I came there.

Travel Instructions. If you’re commuting, ride a bus in Buendia (near the LRT station) or an FX going to Sta. Cruz. Then, stop at Chowking. You’ll see a tricycle terminal there. Ride a tricycle and tell the driver that you’ll be going to Rizal Shrine.

There is no entrance fee there but you could give donations if you want to. Please take note that it is prohibited to take pictures inside the house and inside the museum. You could only take pictures outside. Posted below is the picture of the house.

how i miss the place where i was born. i used to go to this place since its only a walking distance from our house. visiting the house of rizal is a great experience. you will see the genuine beds, chairs, sofas, all of the things used by the rizal family.even the old clothes worn by jose rizal are still intact. if u have time please visit the place.

ano ba iyan!!!! bakit naman hindi puwede magpapicture sa loob?????gusto ko pa naman makakuha ng picture as souvenir ng mga alaala ni Rizal. Tska nga pala. Naguguluhan kasi ako. Sabi kasi sa ibang website, Tuesday to Sunday daw bukas ang RIzal SHrine sa Calamba nang 8am-12nn at 1pm-5pm.E bakit sabi nang friend ko na nagpunta diyan nang Linggo nang nakaraang semester eh di daw sila nakapasok kasi sarado daw kasi Linggo. Pwede paki-update naman iyan para di masyadong magulo. Tska pwede ba namaing malaman ang telephone number diyan sa Rizal Shrine?WLa kasi ako makita na contact no. eh.so please pakilinaw lang po. thanks. pero thanks for the info.puwede ko ba rin malaman kung magkanao iyong pamasahe papunta diyan?we’ll go there kasi eh.
