Dr. Jose Rizal's Last Walk to Martyrdom Trail
To commemorate the centennial of Dr. Jose Rizal's martyrdom, the National Centennial Commission and the Department of Tourism have introduced Rizal's shoeprints embedded in the pavement and placed markers in areas in areas where he passed on his way to Bagumbayan from his cell in Fort Santiago. Marking his last walk to martyrdom, this centennial freedom trail memorializes his brave path to martyrdom in the early hours of December 30, 1896 and symbolizes the birth of the Filipino nation.
This historic marker was unveiled on the twenth seventh day of December in the year of the Lord nineteen hundred ninety six during the incumbency of His Excellency President Fidel V. Ramos as a fitting tribute to the Filipino's yearning for freedom.
