MORO WATCH TOWER

📍Guinsiliban, Camiguin

The Moro Watch Tower lies on one of the beaches in the Municipality of Guinsiliban, near the Guinsiliban Pier. The tower is ancient and was used as a lookout to warn the residents of the approaching Muslim marauders, who frequently come to inflict significant damage. Women and children sought refuge in the watchtower as the men battled the pirates. Only a small portion is now left because the majority of its parts were destroyed to make way for the school surrounding the relic.

HOW TO GET THERE
Guinsiliban’s Moro Watch Tower is located inside Guinsiliban Central School, just outside Guinsiliban Seaport. The nearest landmarks from the seaport are Our Lady of Consolation Parish and the Guinsiliban Central School along Camiguin Circumferential Road.
