4.5The Rizal Shrine(104 reviews) - Great historic place to visit Historic Sites
We where traveling land trip back to Manila, this place is really part of the itinerary. We could only read this on history books during grade school.

It was good that it has been preserve and is taken care of so that children and adults alike could visit and will have a chance to see the past especially Rizal’s life when he was in Dapitan.See more..
4.5Fort Pilar(99 reviews) - The Old Side of Zamboanga City Historic Sites
This fort was originally constructed as an outpost of the Spanish armed forces to drive away pirates. Presently, Fort Pilar is more of a worship place for Roman Catholics, specifically devotees of the Virgin Mary. Zamboanga City is really a melting pot of different cultures as you can visit this Marian shrine which is just a stone throw's away from a very popular Muslim Village called Rio Hondo and this fort is also near to a Muslim mosque so even when there's a mass being celebrated here you can hear a Muslim call for prayers coming from the loudspeakers of the mosque. Aside from tricycles, the jeepneys in Zamboanga City go directly or end their routes in Fort Pilar so going there is not a problem. Outside the fort you will see many vendors selling religious article, souvenirs and snacks.See more..

We went there to Simunul by ferry or medium sized boat. The Masjid is well kept, and the original wooden columns are still kept intact. The people on the Barangay or on the island are very hospitable. The island is serene and beautiful. The Masjid was built by Sharieff Karim Al Makhdum in 1380 long before Magellan and The Spaniards came into ThePhilippines in 1521.
