Landmark History
The enormous Lion’s Head monument was carved from a large existing limestone that was sitting along Kennon Road. It was commissioned in 1968 by the Baguio Lions Club and completed in 1972. It stands 12 meters (40 feet) tall. Prior to carving, the rock was already a landmark that had a natural resemblance to a Lion’s Head. Especially when observed while driving up Kennon Road heading towards Baguio City.
