About Plaza Magellan<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Plaza\nMagellan is a themed mall located within the 30-hectare land area of Mactan\nNewtown. It features a museum in a life-sized replica of Magellan\u2019s Galleon,\nVictoria, which has historically circumnavigate the globe. To further enhance\nthe experience, the mall also utilizes Spanish steps that would lead to the\nmall\u2019s main entrance and with a statue of Magellan built within the plaza. The\niconic entrance of the mall strategically faces the renowned Lapu-lapu Shrine \u2013\nthe site where the epic Battle of Mactan happened. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The\nmall\u2019s design is inspired by the hilltop towns of Portugal and Spain \u2013 the\nhomelands of Ferdinand Magellan. Its architecture also features courtyards and\narcaded walkways that are accentuated by framed doors, windows, cupolas, and\ntowers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In\n2016, members of the Global Network of Magellan Cities gathered in Barangay\nMactan in Lapu-lapu City for the launching of this project. Around 25 mayors\nand government officials from Spain, Portugal, Argentina, Chile, Indonesia, and\nother relevant cities taking part for Ferdinand Magellan\u2019s conquest were\npresent as part of these preparations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


\nPlaza\nMagellan to boost Tourism in Lapu-lapu City<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The local officials of Lapu-lapu City hopes that the\nconstruction of the five hectare plaza would help boost the tourism of the city\nas it will become part of the prime destination for local and foreign tourists.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Secretary General of GNMC, Jose\nManuel Nu\u00f1ez dela Fuente said that they are working for the incorporation of\nMagellan\u2019s voyage in the world heritage list of United Nations Educational,\nScientific and Cultural Organization or UNESCO.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nevertheless, Noli Hernandez,\npresident of Megaworld Cebu Properties Inc., emphasized that Plaza Magellan is\nnot meant to eclipse the Lapu-lapu Shrine; rather, it\nwould complement the chieftain of Cebu. Both have to be honored with their\nrespective principles and historical significance \u2013 Lapu-lapu for his heroism,\nMagellan for bringing forth Christianity in the country.
