Lapu-lapu Shrine
Magellan Shrine
The Lapu-Lapu Shrine is a 20-meter bronze statue
located in the Mactan Shrine park in Punta Engaño,
Mactan Island, Cebu. The statue was erected to
honor Rajah Lapu-Lapu, the native chieftain of
Mactan Island who defeated Ferdinand Magellan
during the historic Battle of Mactan in 1521.
The Magellan shrine is a large memorial tower built
in 1866 to honor Portuguese explorer Ferdinand
Magellan and is built on the area where Magellan is
believed to have been killed in 1521.
Every year in April, during the anniversary of the
Battle of Mactan, the park hosts the “Kadaugan sa
Mactan,” a re-enactment of the epic battle.
National Artist for Architecture,
1990
(August 15, 1928 – November 15, 1994)
Leandro V. Locsin reshaped the urban landscape with a
distinctive architecture reflective of Philippine Art and
Culture. He believes that the true Philippine Architecture
is “the product of two great streams of culture, the
oriental and the occidental… to produce a new object of
profound harmony.” It is this synthesis that underlies all
his works, with his achievements in concrete reflecting
his mastery of space and scale. Every Locsin Building is
an original, and identifiable as a Locsin with themes of
floating volume, the duality of light and heavy, buoyant
and massive running in his major works. From 1955 to
1994, Locsin has produced 75 residences and 88
buildings, including 11 churches and chapels, 23 public
buildings, 48 commercial buildings, six major hotels, and
an airport terminal building.
