Paco Park is a recreational garden area and was once Manila’s municipal cemetery for the well-off and established aristocratic Spanish families who resided in the old Manila, or the city within the walls of Intramuros during the Spanish colonial era. The cemetery is circular in shape, with an inner circular fort that was the original cemetery and with the niches that were placed or located within the hollow walls. A Roman Catholic chapel was built inside the walls of the Paco Park. Philippine national hero Dr. José P. Rizal was interred at Paco Park after his execution at Bagumbayan. Every Friday by sunset, "Paco Park Presents" feature the finest musical artists and chorales, local and guests performers for an evening of classical and traditional Filipino music.
