Monument · Valenzuela City
Arkong Bato
A stone arch that the American colonial government built in 1910 to mark the border between the provinces of Bulacan and Rizal. After Malabon and Valenzuela joined Metropolitan Manila in 1975, the arch became the line between the two towns, and between Barangay Santolan in Malabon and Barangay Arkong Bato in Valenzuela, which takes its name from it.
The arch stands on Marcelo H. Del Pilar Street, where Barangay Panghulo also borders it. The Arkong Bato Chapel is close by, and the barangay holds its Santa Cruz fiesta on the third Sunday of May.
