Bantay Church Bell Tower
About
A brick bell tower on a hill beside the Bantay Church, just north of Vigan, once used as a watchtower against pirates. Climb the narrow stairs for a sweeping view of Vigan, the Ilocos countryside and the mountains. The tower's weathered brick and the green lawn around it make it a favorite photo and pre-nup spot, and it was featured in several films.
