Located at the Luneta is not merely the statue of the national hero, but also the mausoleum that houses his remains. Both statue and mausoleum are located near the very spot where Rizal was executed by Spanish authorities.Phototextures were used to honor the importance of Rizal to Filipinos-for those Filipinos and their descendants abroad who want to see the renovated and marine-guarded National Shrine.The shrine was unveiled on December 30, 1913 during Rizal’s 17th death anniversary. Across the flagpole is the KM "0" marker where all land distances in the Philippines are measured. By Republic Act 8491,the Flag must be hoisted on this flagpole 24/7 and lighted at night.
