Baluarte Watch Tower Review

Submitted by eric on Wed, 04/06/2022 - 10:57
Description

La Union's most iconic watch tower is located on a pebble-lined beach in Brgy. Victoria in Luna. The Spanish-era lookout point was declared a cultural treasure in 2014. When a typhoon hit in 1996, the tower was damaged and split down the middle - hence its unique apperance where half of the original coral and lime structure is complemented by modern materials which were added during restoration efforts in 2017.
