The Heritage Monument is a bronze sculpture showing the different eras of Cebu's history. The sculpture itself is a wonderful work of art. It is also near the Yap-Sandiego ancestral home or Casa Gorordo. It is absolutely worth a quick visit when in Cebu.

It is a monument in the middle of the street. Nothing much really other than the different faces of the monuments depicting Lapu Lapu, Spaniards and moden philipines.You can proceed to walk to the Sto Nino church and other nearby attractions after the visit.

It's been some time since I went to this place and paid attention to it but if I remember it correctly it is a 350 degree monument depicting different historical events. It's nothing spectacular. Worth a visit due to its location being near Casa Gorordo and the Yap San Diego House. Why not have another picture opportunity while at it.

A must see. There is so much complexity to the sculpture. So many stories in one monument. Be certain to have at least one hour to take it all in.

It's a few steps away from the end of the older street Colon Street. It occupies a small space filled with so much art and shows so much Filipino talent.

The Cebu Heritage Monument was created by National Artist Edgardo Castrillo. It has elements depicting the history of Cebu which are great for photoshoots. It's right in front of the must-see Yap-Sandiego House. It's worth the visit.

Located in the old part of the city near the old piers and the Magellan's Cross and the Sto. Nino Shrine. A good quiet spot for some pictures

It's a beautiful fenced-in monument in between streets (a stone's throw away from Yap-Sandiego House). Very limited area (I mean no grass, no trees).
