MAGELLAN MARKER

Punta Engaño, Lapulapu City about 20 kms. from Cebu City. Encouraged by the success of Christianizing the people of Cebu, Magellan crossed the channel to Mactan Island in an effort to spread the faith.

Before he reached the shores, he was killed by the chieftain of the island, Lapulapu and his men during the battle for supremacy and freedon on April 27, 1521.

Efforts to retrieve the body of Magellan were futile inspite of the offer to trade jewelries and spices for his dead body. This marker was erected in 1866 to mark the spot where the great explorer died.
