Historic Paco Park in Manila

Album Info:
Unique among Manila's landmarks, Paco Park is quite possibly the only one of its kind in the world. A former cemetery used during the Spanish colonial times, the construction was completed in 1820. It consists of two circular structures containing tiers of niches (now empty) that were once used for interment. On top of both stone structures are galleries along which the visitor can take a leisurely stroll to better admire the tranquil beauty of the park. A National Historical Shrine (the temporary resting place of national hero, Jose Rizal, right after his execution in Bagumbayan or now known as Luneta), Paco Park serves as the venue for free concerts & cultural events held every week, and for weddings and special festivities.
