# 16 Promoting Negros / History Category / The oldest watch tower in Negros " The Campanario de Dumaguete "

The Campanario de Dumaguete is one of the oldest watch tower here in the Philipines most especially in Negros province. This religious structure can be found with in the city proper of Dumaguete in front of the public plaza.

The exterior structures are made of corals and form like a brick, while inside are stacked corals mixed with sand. Where I could say that the materials used to build the tower is better than building construction materials today.

here is the plaque with Dumaguete City official seal, where you can read the history of this watch tower.
That indicates when it was built and who are the people behind upon building this watch tower.

There are other watch towers also in some places here in Negros and mostly was built during the time of the Spaniards. That's why our hiligaynon dialect are mostly " Spanish words " like kutsara, tinidor, kandado, onse, dose, and many more. The massive influence of Spanish culture to the people of Negros many decades ago.
