ARCHITECTURAL HERITAGE TOUR

The belfry of the 270-year old stone church in Hilongos, Leyte. A fortification of stone around the church was built to protect the early settlers from the onslaught of Moro raids. It is the only church with a fort "kuta" in the country.
The ruin of the 1595-church of Carigara, (Binongtoan), the old settlement in this town. The church was completely abandoned sometime before 1900, but was only restored and transformed into a plaza only in 1995, during the 400 years of Leyte Jesuits Evangelization.

Tanauan, Leyte. The belfry of one of the oldest church in Leyte, built in 1595.
