The entire “Mi Ultimo Adios” of Jose Rizal is etched on the main wall. The full poem is etched on the farthest wall. Second, the story of how the poem was written and stashed inside a lamp, preventing it from being discovered by the Spanish authorities, is beautifully etched on the wooden floor. Third, also displayed, encased by glass like all other items here, is a replica of the lamp in which the poem was hidden. Rate (above) and review (below) this entry.
