Ruby Tuesday#52 Jose Rizal's Laguna Home


June is the birth month of our national hero, Dr. Jose Rizal. So, am posting here a picture of his ancestral home in Laguna where he spent his childhood days with his siblings.

We visited this place last year and it was really interesting to see how he lived with his family. The Spanish-styled house was built the way it was typically done during the Spanish occupation with consideration to the tropical climate. The house has wide doors, high-ceiling windows to maximize air ventilation.
