 park, place with historical importance
A serious cholera outbreak in 1820 led to the need for a municipal cemetery in Paco then known as San Fernando de Dilao. Paco Park is a 4,114.80 square meter recreational garden area and was once Manila’s municipal cemetery during the Spanish colonial period. It is located along General Luna St. and at the east end of Padre Faura Street in Paco district in the City of Manila, the Philippines.

Paco Park was where the remains of Philippine National Hero, Jose P. Rizal, was interred after his execution on December 30, 1896. His body rested here from 1896 to 1898. Also found here are the remains of the martyr priests in GomBurZa (Fr. Mariano Gomez, Fr. Jose Burgos, and Fr. Jacinto Zamora), who were executed in 1872.
