Culion Fort and Church (La Inmaculada Concepcion)
11° 53.5′ N · 120° 1.4′ E
The Jesuit-built Immaculate Conception Church stands on the old Spanish fort above Culion's waterfront, beside the Culion lighthouse, looking out over the bay.
Practical
Mapped in OpenStreetMap as La Immaculada Concepcion Church; the Culion lighthouse (minor light, flashing) is next to it at 11.8922N 120.0244E. Wikipedia (Culion) calls the Immaculate Conception Church built by the Jesuits the fort of 'Culion proper', younger than the Augustinian Recollect fort ruins at San Pedro (Burabud). Wikipedia (Coron) notes a fort and church were built at Libis (San Pedro), Culion around 1670 against Moro raids. Good views over the anchorage.
