Reviews
Located in the Parian District of Cebu, the Heritage monument displays the history of the city and the province.
A small portion in Parian this structure located in, opposite is the San Diego-Yap ancestral home then a walk to Gorordo Museum.
A monument were u can see the history of cebu... Its located in parian i used to play basketball here during my high school days
The history of Cebu City told in statues. Cebu City can be proud of its heritage and this statue tells their story.
its just a monument across the road... i thought its like a museum. some reviewer are right you have to accompanied by someone who knows the history of it... almost cebuanos not familiar to its name, they called it "parian" then after picture taking go to SM cebu to have snaks there are jeeps passing there going to the mall
You can miss this part of the tour or stop by for 5 mins just for pictures. Its just a bit scary when suspicious looking characters enter the monument site, and your the only tourist there. It feels like your gonna get mugged.
