The San Guillermo de Aquitania church- one of the tourist spots in Dalaguete.


The foundation of Dalaguete began when it was established as a visita of Carcar in 1690. In 1711, it became a parish under the patronage of San Guillermo de Aquitaña.

In the 1800s, the church complex served as fortification protecting the townspeople from the frequent Moro attacks.

The current church was a product of the baroque taste of Fray Juan Chacel, who built it in 1802. The rectory on the right side was completed in 1832 while the octagonal belfry was added in the late 1850s.

   The Dalaguete Watchtower- built in 1768 which serves as the defense against the Moros from the year 1700-1800.
This landmark has been called as "kiosko" to the locals.
