Rizal Shrine
Along historic Calle Real, just a few steps away from the Old Calamba City Hall, now the City College of Calamba, and the parish church, is the shrine dedicated to Dr. Jose Rizal. The shrine is a replica of the Spanish colonial style house where Rizal was born on June 19, 1861, to Francisco Mercado and Teodora Alonzo. The house was typical of the residences of the Filipino gentry of Hispanic times, with its ground floor of lime and stone, its up
per floor of the best hardwood, its roof of red tile.
Reconstructed in 1949, the Rizal shrine is now maintained by the National Historical Institute, and the houses furnitures a nd kitchenware of the colonial era, a s well as Dr. Rizal’s clothes, paintings, sculptures, other paraphernalia and laminated excerpts of his written works.
The house had a small stable for horses and storage for carriages on the ground floor, and a living and dining area and bedrooms on the upper floor. The family also had good-sized library where Rizal’s first lessons took place.
In the garden is a bahay kubo (nipa Hut) – a replica on the one where Rizal used to spend his days as a child and a statue of Rizal as a boy – an added attraction made by Dudley Diaz for the 1996 Centennial celebration. There is also a wishing well at the back of the house where visitors never missed to inspect simply because of the notion that it makes wishes come true. 
The museum offers guided tours for groups. It has a gift shop on the ground floor where postcards, books and souvenir items are sold. There is no entrance fee but donations are welcome.
Open from Tuesday to Sundays, 8-12 am and 1-5 pm
