De La Salle College Chapel | Memorare MarkerDe La Salle College Chapel | Memorare Marker is a Marked Structure, NHCP; Work of National Artist for Architecture Pablo S. Antonio located at Manila, Metro Manila, National Capital Region.
The Chapel of the Most Blessed Sacrament is the largest chapel of the De La Salle University campus. Situated on the second floor of the Saint La Salle Hall, the Chapel is skillfully rendered with grandiosity and spaciousness that would otherwise be unapparent in such constraints. The elegant Art Deco forms are highlighted by sunlight gently filtered through the chapel’s iconic stained glass windows. (Source: The Architectural Legacy of Pablo S. Antonio: 1901-1975)

Memorare
Ginamit ng mga puwersang Hapon ang De La Salle College, ngayo’y De La Salle University, bilang himpilan noong Ikalawang Digmaang Pandaigdig. Animnapu’t walong katao ang nagkanlong sa pangunahing gusali ng kolehiyo sa panahon ng labanan ng Maynila. Marahas na pinaslang ng puwersang Hapon ang labinlimang Christian Brothers at ilan pang mga sibilyan, 12 Pebrero 1945. Nauna rito, dinakip at hindi na nakitang muli sina Brother Egbert Xavier, FSC, direktor ng kolehiyo, at Judge Jose Carlos. Nasagip ng 12th Cavalry Regiment ng U.S. Army ang mga taong nakaligtas, 15 Pebrero 1945. Ang panandang ito ay iniaalay sa alaala ng mga namatay sa pook na ito.
