The Mactan Shrine houses three of the prominent landmarks in island. The shrine is a large tower erected in commemoration of the "Battle of Mactan" and the victory over foreign forces.
The area where the shrine stands was believed to be the battle ground where Magellan died. It measures 30 meters high, located few meters away from Shari-la Mactan Island Resort and part of the jurisdiction of Punta Engaño, Lapu-Lapu City.
