From afar, you can already see that the belfry needs renovation. I actually hoped to be able to go inside and get to the top but the door is closed and the stairs are obstructed. I do not know if ther...
It is quite easy to find this attraction due to its height. Near it is the Cathedral, Quezon Park, City Hall and the Fruit Market. I took several pictures here!
This belfry that can be found right outside of the Cathedral of Dumaguete is pretty historic. Interesting that it was able to stand the test of time. Probably to remind us of Dumaguete's past. It serv...

St. Catherine and the Church of Alexandria and the old clock tower are not far from the school. It takes only five minutes to drive, which is the landmark of the Duma. Although the exterior is not gorgeous, the exterior walls of the old clock tower are all polished and polished by coral stone, and the historical thickness carried by it will give people a heavy feeling. The tour guide said that people living on the island will respect it very much, because these coral stones will accumulate a little bit for many years. After listening to the introduction, I went to see the building and I had a lot of awe.
Jojos trip
DUMAGUETE CITY ✨
I've been to Dumaguete City 5 times already. First time was when we had a vacation in Valencia, and the last 2 times were to get my and my boyfriend's passports. Dumaguete is a humble city. It has a lot going on there. There old church is beautiful. They have the famed Siliman University. And many more.

Additional Information
Introduction
The Dumaguete Clock Tower was built between 1754 and 1776 and is one of the old landmarks of the Dumaguete. It has a rich history. The bell tower, built from coral reefs, has been hit by two centuries of wind and rain, like a weather-stricken old man. According to locals, after obtaining authorization from the Management Office, they can board the tower and overlook the panoramic view of the Duma.
It's one of the memorable place in the Philippines
This bell tower can be found outside Dumaguete Cathedral, and it has considerable historical significance. What's interesting is that it can stand the test of time. Probably to remind us of Dumaquet's past. It serves as a watchtower to warn people of the arrival of pirate attacks. Now it has become a place of admiration, complemented by the image of the Virgin Mary. It is a place of prayer and sacrifice.
From a distance, this clock tower actually feels quite ordinary. When I walked closer, I realized that it was really special and magnificent, and it was really tall and small. It was a cylindrical clock tower with a very large volume.
This is a local landmark building with a long history, and it is really very magnificent, but it is not so much a bell tower, it is more like a fortress, it feels that it also has a military function.
As a local landmark, you must come to check in, and the location is very convenient. Right in the center of this town, this clock tower looks very thick, it is not as slender as our common clock tower.
