Magellan's Marker

Amazing history and great views, very little shade but the volunteer guide made our day . He took pictures and told the story as it should be . If it's your first time in Cebu you must go!

Parking could be a bit tricky but certainly doable. We went during one of the local festivals and the place was hopping. Lots of food stalls and a stage was set up for the entertainment with music and dancing and other variety shows. That said, if you visit the park while there are not activities you still get a few vendors and will like have the place all to your self as we did. A few other guest but that was it. Just don’t go in the middle of the day or you’ll fry under the hot Sun ☀️

“On my first day in Cebu, Philippines, I visited Magellan’s Marker and was amazed by its historical significance. The monument is well-maintained and offers a great glimpse into the history of Mactan. I even met an amazing local who shared interesting stories about the site. Highly recommended for anyone interested in history and culture!”

Monument is interesting and I enjoyed seeing where Magellan died in battle. Mainly the monuments and there was some nice wood sculptures there which I enjoyed. There are some vendors selling souvenirs as well

my wife and I just spent an hour or two to enjoy the Mactan Shrine, it's new & quite big that the last time I visited here..you will enjoy the fresh air and nice view..

I like it here.. it looks so open now like a modern park 😜 Nice to relax at night near the beach, at the garden, and just feeling the breeze. The Mactan New Town View also looks perfect! Good job Mayor A.

I can now say I stood at the spot their hero Magellan who was killed by the other hero Lapu-Lapu. Magellan was forcing oppression and is now revered for forcing Christianity. Also there is some doll involved in all this. The doll makes for hella street festivals.

This historical park has been changing over the years into a very nice well kept park.it will be interesting what is instore for it in the future.ther is also a reenactment show scheduled. Check for the dates
