    Rizal Park (Filipino: Liwasang Rizal), also known as Luneta Park or simply

    Luneta, is a historical urban park in the Philippines. Located along Roxas


    Boulevard, Manila, adjacent to the old walled city of Intramuros, it is one of
    the largest urban parks in Asia. It has been a favorite leisure spot, and is
    frequented on Sundays and national holidays. Rizal Park is one of the
    major tourist attractions of Manila.
    Situated by the Manila Bay, it is an important site in Philippine history. The
    execution of national hero Jos Rizal on December 30, 1896 fanned the
    flames of the 1896 Philippine Revolution against the Kingdom of Spain.
    The area was officially renamed Rizal Park in his honor, and the monument
    enshrining his remains serves as the park's symbolic focal point. The
    Declaration of Philippine Independence from the United States was held
    here on July 4, 1946 as were later political rallies including those of
    Ferdinand Marcos and Corazon Aquino in 1986 that culminated in the
    EDSA Revolution.
