Built in 1866 , Bacong church is located by the sea featuring the oldest existing main altar reputed to be the province’s oldest; its pipe organ from Zaragosa, Spain was installed in 1894 through the efforts of the first parish priest, Rev. Joaquin Soriano. The belfry, reputed to be Oriental Negros’ tallest with winding steps to the top, was used as a look-out point for seafaring pirates who used to attack the village.
