Brgy. Bonbon, Catarman, Camiguin Island
The devastating volcanic eruption in
1871 wiped out the Spanish settlement of Catarman that was established in
1697. The remains of an Old Spanish church, ruins of adobe walls, belfry and convent are mute
witnesses to the wrath of nature. It also allows us a glimpse into the culture of Spanish-era Camiguin.
It is considered the oldest because of its 16th century structure ruins and has unique features that is made of coral stones. Added to that just in front of the old convent and just the side on
church wall ruins is the Old bell tower ruins that is been part of
Camiguin island's history.
