Summary[edit]
DescriptionBaluarte Watch Tower, Luna, La Union.jpg |
English: A 400-year-old watchtower facing the West Philippine Sea built during the spanish period, a 5.6-meter high made by reddish bricks structure located at Barangay Victoria, Municipality of Luna. Spaniards created the tower as a lookout point for the approaching attacks of Japanese, Chinese and Moro pirates and other conquerors in the coastal towns of la union. The guards were able to warn the locals of Luna to protect and defend their properties from ransacker. The baluarte also serves as a communication tower during world war II.
Before the watchtower stands in disarray, vertically cut in two because of eroded base and foundation. Its two halves stand with concrete post supports on its sides. Recently the tower was totally split in half after it was hit by big waves and strong winds spawned by a typhoon. The philippine government manage to repair the tower maintaining the structure’s architectural design and materials. Today the restored Baluarte looks like a fusion of old and new architecture but its still a historical landmark in the province that sybolizes luna’s stability and unity. |
