Rizal Shrine is a replication of the original house where Dr. Jose Rizal was born. It is a type of house that we call Bahay na Bato - a typical house of Filipinos back then that was made with the use of stones, bricks, and wood - that is located at Francisco Mercado St., Jose P. Rizal St., Brgy. Poblacion, Calamba, Laguna. 

Way back in 1891, their original house was confiscated by the Spanish authorities, but Paciano Rizal, brother of Jose Rizal, was able to reoccupy the house during the Philippine Revolution; however, they lost it again to the Friars. Afterward, it was sold and destroyed during World War II and was eventually demolished. For 24,000 pesos, the government bought the remains of the house and held ownership of it.

Through President Elpidio Quirino's Executive Order No. 145, the Rizal Shrine was reconstructed. The newly built home was introduced to the public on June 19, 1950, serving as a receptacle for Rizal’s memorabilia. The government did its best to provide an accurate representation of Rizal's childhood home. Until now, this house has served as a museum and a shrine dedicated to our hero.
