The monument is filled with Stone carvings that describe each events that took place from our rich past. You will be welcomed by a caretaker who is full of wits. You will enjoy hearing stories straight from him. My kids appreciated everything we listed to. No fees here needed to walk around. But you can also be generous to Tip the caretaker who is passionate about his story telling and not to discount his sincerity to make you understand how the past happened.

Located at the middle of a very busy street, this attraction is easy to locate. The sculptures depict the history of Cebu .
Note that nearby is located another attraction called, 1730 Jesuit House.

The Cebu Heritage Monument is a stunning sculpture and a must-see attraction in Cebu City. The monument depicts important historical events and figures in the city's history, from the arrival of Portuguese explorer Ferdinand Magellan to the Battle of Mactan. The intricate details of the sculpture and the use of lighting make it a beautiful sight to behold at night. The monument also features a fountain and a small park, providing a relaxing and picturesque spot for visitors. The monument's location in the city center makes it easily accessible and a perfect addition to any itinerary exploring the city's rich history and culture.

you will really take a second look if you happen to pass by this sculpture at the middle of a busy street. it has numerous figures that kinda depict cebu's rich history. one will see magellan's cross & galleon, lapu-lapu, sergio osmeña, san pedro calungsod & other historical images that represent cebu's past which made it the strongest city in the visayas.
its worse feature is the spot it stands on. you might get hurt from passing motorists if you attempt to scrutinize the monument much closer.

The Cebu Heritage Monument was a recommended must see. Entrance is free to the public but donations were accepted. The monument is a famous sculpture and tourist attraction that portrays notable events and personalities in the history of Cebu. The detail of the sculptures were amazing and the warriors look impressively fierce. It was raining lightly, no crowds, which was nice. We had the monument to ourselves.

The Cebu Heritage Monument is impressive and offers a rich insight into the history and culture of Cebu. The intricate sculptures beautifully depict key events and personalities in Cebu's past. The monument's location in the heart of the city makes it easily accessible for visitors. However, it can get crowded at times, limiting the opportunity for a peaceful and immersive experience. Nonetheless, it remains a must-visit attraction for anyone interested in Cebu's heritage.

This monument depicts important scenes from Philippine history, particularly with reference to the Christianization of the country. It is located in the Parian district of Cebu City (right across the famous Yap-Sandiego ancestral house), specifically in a plaza of an old church that has been demolished and now a fire station stands in it. The monument is quite imposing. However, some pieces of it are beginning to crumble. I wish the local government would do something about it.

This monument is only really worth seeing if you are already in the area - ie you are visiting either Yap Santiego or Casa Goroado. It really is just a large statue and isn’t worth travelling to for itself alone. At least it’s free!

The place is tidy and well maintained. As per guide, the sculptures represent the important event or history of Cebu.
It is right in front of yap ancestral house.
Nothing much to say since we just stayed 10 minutes.

Very interesting monument depicting Cebu’s history from Magellan’s arrival, I am sure they had a history before that but no sign of that. That doesn’t make the artwork less interesting, beautiful statues, impressive work. All the information about the monument is no longer there, thus having a guide is helpful. Outside of the monument some touts pushing pearls and other “jewelry”

actually, you can go there anytime, because it's in the center of the park, and you can see it directly, as soon as you get there
