The Rizal Shrine dedicated to the lifework of Jose Rizal is located on Santa Clara Street, Fort Santiago, Intramuros, Manila, 1002 Philippines.

This is a fortified complex which houses the building the Philippines' national hero spent his last night and where his family later found concealed in an oil lamp, the famous poem Mi Ultimo Adios (My Last Farewell). The shrine is home to various memorabilia, books, manuscripts and artworks belonging to the prodigious and multifaceted Rizal. Fort Santiago served as barracks for Spanish artillery soldiers during Spain's colonization of the islands.
