After successfully Christianizing the people of Cebuano, Magellan crossed the Channel to Mactan in an effort to spread his religious beliefs. He underestimated the fighting spirit of the island's chief, Labrabu, and his troops. Magellan was killed in the battle for supremacy and freedom before going ashore on April 27, 1521. Efforts to retrieve Magellan's body ended in vain, despite a trade in jewelry and spices to get his body. His monument was erected in 1866 to commemorate the martyrdom of the Portuguese explorer.

The great Magel died in La Plapu. The monument to Magel, a little negligent with a sacred mission, came from Cebu to La Plapu on your Mactan Island, where sheikh La Plapu was ambushed and killed.
It's good to visit this place and learn some history. However, avoid during weekends specially on Sundays. Since it is just beside the Sto.Niño Church expect a volume or flock of crowd during Sundays.
There are a lot of people, but it is worth seeing. The statue of the baby Jesus was also very amazing and I knew a lot of culture.
The Magellan Martyr Memorial is still worth coming here to see, it is quite meaningful
Very cost-effective, convenient transportation, completely stimulated my desire to go out ( ͈ ᵕ `͈ ) ◞♡
The view of the Magellan Martyr Monument is good and you can come and see
