St. James Church in Dapitan City

Another interesting place to visit while in Dapitan is the Church of St. James the Great which sits adjacent to the City Plaza.

The church was constructed in 1871 in honor of St. James, the patron saint of Dapitan City under the administration of the Jesuit friars. The design of the church and its exterior walls are still the same except for the added finishing on the walls.

Stepping into the Hallowed grounds of Rizal Shrine in Dapitan

A visit in Zamboanga del Norte will never be complete without dropping by at the Jose Rizal Shrine in Dapitan City. It has been taught to us in our History class that our National Hero Dr. Jose Rizal was exiled in Dapitan for four long years.

Dapitan Sunset

Manila is known for its lovely sunset. But on the southern end of the country, the Shrine City of Dapitan is also known for the same thing: its fiery sunset.
