MAGELLAN'S MARKER
Ferdinand Magellan crossed the channel to Mactan Island in an effort to spread Christianity. Before
reaching the shore on knee-deep waters, Magellan encountered a battle of supremacy against Lapu-Lapu, the local chief of Mactan
on April 27, 1521.
The marker stands on that fateful battleground in memeory of Magellan and his fallen men.
