This hallowed ground houses the magnificent mausoleum, reaching a soaring height of 66 meters, preserving the legacy of Manuel L. Quezon, the revered second President of the Philippines and the visionary leader of an internationally recognized independent Filipino nation. Alongside him rests his esteemed wife, Aurora Quezon.
The Quezon Memorial Circle, affectionately known as “Circle” by locals, has undergone a remarkable transformation, adorning itself with new facets to enthrall the attention of both local enthusiasts and global wanderers. These refurbishments have proven successful, steadily augmenting the influx of visitors.

In the 1950s, Federico Ilustre orchestrated the creation of the iconic Quezon Memorial Shrine, an embodiment of art deco brilliance within the Quezon Memorial Circle. This monument, set upon a sprawling thirty-six-hectare elliptical canvas, rises to the same height as Quezon was at his passing—a towering 66 meters. Ascending a spiral staircase within, visitors are greeted by an observation deck, accommodating up to sixty individuals and affording them a breathtaking panorama of the city.
Adorning the summits of three towering pylons are three mourning angels, each tenderly clutching sampaguita wreaths—the national flower—sculpted masterfully by Francesco Monti. These winged sentinels, representing Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao, proudly display the distinctive garb of their respective regions. Complementing this awe-inspiring sight is a revitalized dancing fountain, igniting the night sky with a vibrant kaleidoscope of colors.
An average of 8,000 visitors grace the Quezon Memorial Circle daily, with weekend figures soaring to a reported 12,000. Remarkably, in December 2011, the park welcomed over a million visitors daily, attesting to its enduring magnetism.
