Rizal Monument Roxas City

Rizal Monument Roxas City is a Local Cultural Property - Important Cultural Property of the Province of Capiz (per Provincial Ordinance No. 069, series of 2019; 2019-2022) located at Roxas City, Roxas City, Region VI.

The monument was built in 1901 and was erected in the left side of the Capitol building back in June 19, 1911 to celebrate the 50th birthday of Rizal. During the Second World War, the monument was spared with bullet holes and shrapnel. Thus, engraved on the foothold are words: "Justicia (justice), Libertad (liberty), and Patria (patriotism)," which were a manifestation of respect that the former Governor Altavas had for Rizal (Inocencio, n.d..)
