The
Quezon Memorial Circle is a national park and shrine
located in Quezon City, former capital of the Philippines
(1948-1976). The park is an ellipse bounded by the Elliptical
Road. The site was originally intended as the grounds
of the National Capitol to be built in Quezon City.
While the cornerstone for the structure was laid in
1940, only the foundations were in place when construction
was interrupted by the beginning of the Second World
War in the Philippines. After World War II, President
Sergio Osmena issued an executive order stipulating
the creation of a Quezon Memorial Committee to raise
funds by public subscription to erect a monument to
his predecessor, President Manuel Luis Quezon.
