The Gomburza National Monument, located in front of the National Museum of Fine Arts along Padre Burgos Avenue in Manila, stands as a solemn tribute to three Filipino priests—Mariano Gomes, José Burgos, and Jacinto Zamora—who were executed in 1872. Their martyrdom marked a turning point in Philippine history, igniting nationalist sentiments that would later culminate in the country’s fight for independence. For travelers exploring the historical heart of Manila, this monument offers a compelling glimpse into the nation’s past and the sacrifices made for freedom.
