One of the most notable sight in Vigan is the Bantay Bell Tower. Not far from the National Hi-way the Belfry is nestled on top of the hill with a panoramic view of Vigan . It was built in 1591 for couple of reasons, it serves as the watch tower for possible invaders and as a bell tower for the nearby Church.

The neo gothic style and chocolate brown facade makes the church extraordinary among others in Ilocos Region.
