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.
