Monuments to visit Tagbilaran

In the municipality of Maribojoc, 14 kilometers from the capital, stands the Punta Cruz watchtower, overlooking the seas of Cebu, Siquijor and Mindanao. Its construction was completed in 1796. During the Spanish colonial era, it was used to monitor the seas and warn of pirates. Legend has it that whenever Moro pirates try to approach, a powerful light emanates from the cross beside the tower to dazzle them.
