A recreational garden in Manila, Philippines.
The Paco Park, previously known as Cementerio General de Dilao, is a beautiful recreational garden and formerly Manila’s municipal cemetery established by the Dominicans during the colonial era of the Spanish. The park is situated along General Luna Street and at the eastern side of Padre Faura Street in Paco, Manila. Over the years, the park has become renowned for being the venue for many weddings and receptions for couples who enjoy the natural setting. The park is circular in shape, with an inner circular fort that once stood as the cemetery. Inside sits a small, domed Roman Catholic chapel dedicated to St. Pancratius. The design of Paco Park was conceptualised by Ildefonso P. Santos, Jr. who had received praise as a Philippine National Artist. If you are looking for a day out with nature, you should certainly stop by Paco Park!
