Bantay Church and Bell Tower
Built in 1590, Bantay Church in Vigan, Ilocos Sur features a neo-gothic facade incorporating the distinct Vigan earthquake baroque in its architecture built to withstand the magnitudes of this destructive natural force.
“Bantay” (meaning to keep watch or lookout) this bell tower sits on a hill witness to everything for its panoramic view of Ilocos Sur. It played its part in history when it served as watch tower, part of the city’s defense to help alert against potential threats and enemies.
