Bangui Windmills
Constructed in 2003 and opened in 2005, this is the first wind farm in the Philippines. Even after the Burgos and Caparispisan wind farms were completed, the Bangui wind farms remain the main tourist attraction in its region.
During the Spanish era, a redbrick watchtower was placed on top of the hill as a lighthouse and watchtower against marauding Moro pirates and foreign navies, hence the hill's name. The watchtower has been carefully preserved.
Bangui Church
Bangui's main Roman Catholic church, built in 1877 and extensively renovated since then.
