Bagacay Point Lighthouse
Name of this Lighthouse in the Town of Liloan is: This Lighthouse stands at a towering height of 72 feet in an uphill area overlooking the splendid Mactan Channel. It sits on an elevated 5,000-sq m government property, 22 km from the main road. The Tower has an active focal plane of 146 feet.

The Present tower built in 1908 is white, octagonal and concrete made. The landmark was built in 1904 by virtue of an executive order issued on July 28, 1903. This light point was originally established in 1857. The Light point flashes white light source at every 5 seconds. For the past 101 years, this white octagonal tower has provided guiding light to mariners, navigators and fishermen from coastal towns in northern Cebu.

Old Bantayan sa Hari
Standing on a cliff overlooking the Mactan channel is a watchtower or Bantayan sa Hari built during the Spanish era.A most valuable link to Liloan’s history, this structure in Barangay Calero has been, interestingly, mistakenly identified as an old lighthouse.

It stands next to Liloan’s famous landmark, the over a century-old lighthouse built by the Americans. The Liloan watchtower may be a part of the string of watchtowers built on Cebu’s northeastern coasts in the 19th century, when Moro raiders concentrated their attacks on Cebu’s north. The Moro raiders turned their attention to the north after the southern Cebu towns’ effective defense of their territories. The raiders not only divested local residents of goods, people were also snatched for slavery.

Pottery Making at Lilo-an
The red limestone abundant in the town has since given pottery makers something to work with, a cottage industry that is identified with Liloan more than any other town in Cebu. Various display centers of pots, jars, vases and other products from clay can be seen dotting the national

highway from the boundary between Consolacion and Liloan to as far as Barangay Jubay. The industry depicts that which is a rich resource in Liloan, as well as local art and craft handed down through generations.

St. Tomas de Villanueva Church
The church was built in 1755 by Fr. Manuel de Santa Barbara. It was made of materials that came from sugar cane and rocks from the sea. The church’s crucero was built in the 1800’s but was partially burned in 1942 during the World War II as well as other important religious items.

From the original construction materials of the church, only the solid stones were spared from the fire. It was reconstructed in 1946. In 1981, the building underwent another renovation, this time almost a complete overhaul (only 30% of the original stands). The renovation was completed in 1985. Very interesting about this church are the bells which are named after saints. The oldest bell is the San Alipio bell which was cast in 1845 and weighs 450 kilos. The Villanueva bell which weighs 630 kilos and the Sagrado Corazon bell which weighs 249 kilos were added in 1917.

San Fernando Rey Parish Church
One of the oldest standing heritage structures in Liloan is the Church of Saint Ferdinand, King of Spain, the fiesta of which is celebrated every May 29 and 30. The church, although a religious structure, has also been a source of local folklore. Told from generation to generation of Liloan

families is the story of how a giant sea creature guards a treasure of gold in a cave under the altar Supposedly proof of the cave existing underneath the church, according to the elderly, is the hollow sound one will get upon tapping the altar. Depending on whose version or who’s telling the story, the giant sea creature could either be a huge red-eyed octopus, a giant fish, or a large half-fish half-human. Also, there are claims that a local fisherman was brave enough to go to the cave, the opening of which is supposedly a few meters from the seashore...

Bamboo & Rattan Furnitures
High-end furniture and furnishings and other finer crafts. Each of the finished products is done carefully and artfully by hands, making it very unique in a sense. These raw materials are either: soaked, bent, hot-iron scorched, rock-beaten. Or pebble-washed, hand-woven, stick-twisted.

Basket Weaving
Cebuano folk art includes basketry. The north countryside tour is not only for sugar cane and coconut plantation, but also for basket weaving. Should you wish to stop and watch them weave, and learn some techniques on how they form the piece of a bamboo strip into a very nice basket.

Danao City Plaza & City Hall
The young little ones of Danao City have a very nice place to look forward to when afternoon comes: the Children's Paradise. Danao City is well-known for its gun industry. The industry started around 1905-1906. When World War II came, the Danao gunsmiths went underground, joined the guerrilla movement or were inducted into the USAFFE. Their main task was to re-chamber the Japanese Arisaka rifles to fit the US .30 caliber round or to keep the original Japanese rifle in good service. In the 1960s, the term paltik was given to the homemade guns. What greets the visitor, instead, are warm and hospitable people eager to put a visitor at ease.

Durano Foundation
As you drive through Danao, you will notice a huge piece of land, which the Durano Family used to build a huge church and a mausoleum for the patriarch. The place is totally breathtaking. And clearly, the people behind this project shelled out a fortune to create such an amazing masterpiece. Durano's lasting legacies is a church, a large Catholic Church, but also has busts of all of the saints and popes from the early 200 AD all the way to those in the 1900s. There are also dioramas of the Last Supper, a Garden of Gethsemane, a "Calvary rock", and many other statues and dioramas. Most of these were apparently built in the 1970s.

Coconut & Sugarcane Plantation
All in all, the vast sugarcane and coconut plantations that could make you close to the tropical paradise and that the entire north countryside is covered with scenes like this. The city has a sugar mill (some areas of Danao are devoted to sugarcane planting.
