Guinsiliban Moro Watch TowerGuinsiliban Moro Watch Tower is a Registered Property, Province of Camiguin located at Guinsiliban, Camiguin, Region X.
It is one of the oldest structures built during the Spanish time in the province of Camiguin. The fortress protected the townspeople of Guinsiliban. During the surprise Moro raids, upon hearing the warning signals (the blowing of the tambuli shells), the people hid within the walls of the "kuta."
There were no concrete records as to the date if the construction of the Moro Watch Tower. In the study of Neri (2010), he stated that the tower of Guinsiliban was probably built by the Recollect missionaries who came from the main land or the neighboring islands of Visayas, because of the technique and materials used. Mark Aguinman (a local researcher), as cited by Lluch (2018) in his article Surfacing the Untold Stories of Camiguin Island, explained that the tower was part of a larger structure as what was described by locals who have seen the old "kota" (fort) before the construction and expansion of the present day Gabaldon Building (Guinsiliban Central School).
Aguiman and Lluch (2018) both agree that the tower could have been built with two purposes; as part of a religious temple (as a church) or part of the structure and fortress to protect the people from pirate raids as locals call the place "kota."
