In the nearby town of Bantay sits the historic St. Augustine Church and bell tower. The church was built in 1590, but suffered damages during WWII and had to be reconstructed in 1950.
The belfry (built in 1591) survived any major damage and is still
standing today. It was used as a watch tower to alert against possible
invasions.
