2. Sinking Bell
Tower
There is no explanation
needed why this structure is called the sinking bell tower. The Bantay bell
tower is loacated in Laoag and just near from St. William Cathedral.
The bell tower sank
because of its heavy foundation composed of pure sand and bricks. The heavy and
tall structure is believed to be sinking for about one-inch annually. The front
door of the bell tower sank half way from its original height.
