Bantayan sa Hari (King's watchtower) is also known as “Baluarte sa Mandaue City” and located in Looc, Mandaue below Mandaue-Mactan Bridge.

The bell in the tower serves to alert the locals if moro slave raiders are reaching its shores. It is 1 kilometer away from St. Joseph Parish, which used to serve as the locals refugee whenever the bell rang.

There are many houses and infrastructures built around the watchtower though, so it isn’t easy to spot. The tower has already been around for about 1,800 years.
