10. Bacarra Domeless Tower

The Bacarra Domeless Tower is a 50-meter tower and was built in 1830, but was damaged in 1931 by an earthquake. Another strong earthquake (with a 7.8 intensity) in 1983 caused its dome to totally go down. Thus, gaining the romanticized title “Dignified Domeless Belltower in Asia.”

Bacarra is a town adjacent to Laoag City. It is just 15 mins away. Museo de Bacarra, which houses many artifacts, is right near the Bacarra Tower.
