The Dapitan Heritage Zone or Dapitan Historic Center is a declared historic district in Dapitan, Philippines. Because of its prehistoric origins, collection of heritage structures and role in the exile of local patriot Dr. Jose Rizal, the National Historical Commission of the Philippines declared a specific portion of the city, along with its heritage structures, as a Heritage Zone or Historic Center in 2011.[1] The declaration was made in coordination with the 150th birth anniversary of Dr. Rizal in June 2011.[2]
