Juan Luna Shrine

The Juan Luna Shrine is a reconstructed ancestral house and museum in Barangay Garreta, Badoc, Ilocos Norte, marking the birthplace of Filipino painter and national hero Juan Luna (1857-1899). Managed by the National Historical Commission of the Philippines, the two-storey shrine displays replicas of his works including Spoliarium, personal memorabilia, and period furnishings. It commemorates Luna's artistic legacy and his role in Philippine history as a member of the Propaganda Movement.

Visitors can expect a two-storey reconstructed bahay-na-bato ancestral house set in a quiet compound in Badoc. The ground floor houses a museum gallery with replicas of Juan Luna's paintings including Spoliarium, historical photos, documents and memorabilia, while the upper floor is furnished to evoke 19th-century domestic life. The surrounding grounds include a small park, bust of Luna, and landscaped garden areas for walking and photography.

The shrine marks the birthplace of Juan Luna y Novicio (October 23, 1857 - December 7, 1899), renowned Filipino painter known for Spoliarium which won gold at the 1884 Madrid Exposition. The original house was destroyed and later reconstructed by the National Historical Commission of the Philippines and declared a National Shrine. It commemorates Luna's contributions to Philippine art and his involvement in the late 19th-century reform movement.

The shrine is a National Shrine and cultural heritage site preserving Ilocano ancestral architecture and Filipino artistic heritage. It serves as an educational center on Juan Luna's life and works and is a focal point for local commemorations of Luna's birth anniversary and cultural events in Badoc.
