Capul Church, Catholic fortress church in Capul, Philippines.
The granite and coral stone structure incorporates defensive features, including an 11-meter high bell tower and thick walls constructed for protection against raids.
The Jesuits established the initial church in 1596, which experienced multiple destructions before the Franciscans rebuilt it in 1781 with fortified elements.
The Parish Church of Saint Ignatius of Loyola functions as the primary religious center for local celebrations and community gatherings in Northern Samar.
The church opens daily for religious services and welcomes visitors interested in exploring its architectural elements and historical significance.
The structure includes a mortuary chapel and a stone watchtower that served as lookout points during maritime conflicts in previous centuries.
