Paco Park

Those seeking a place of solitude, head to the leafy oasis of Paco Park near Malate, where sturdy stone walls surround a picturesque circular park. It's of historical importance too, with its quaint colonial chapel, formerly a cemetery during Spanish times and one of Rizal's favourite places; so much so that he was buried here from 1898 to 1912.
