Summary

Description

Orig. Flickr desc: The bell tower for St. Augustine Church (commonly known as Bantay Church as it is located in the town of Bantay on the northern border of Vigan City) stands separate from the church itself as a precaution in case of an earthquake. Built in 1590 when this area was still an island in the Mestizo River before it silted up, the bell tower was used to watch for pirates during the Spanish colonial era. (In Tagalog, ‘bantáy’ means guard or sentry and is where the town gets its name from.) The tower served as a watchtower more recently during World War II to spot invading enemy forces.
