A Bell To Remember. / myLot

This bell is more than a century-old bell made of bronze. This bell can be found in Sagada, Mountain Province in front of St. Mary the Virgin Church. It is usually called the 'Mother Bell' or 'Sagada Bell' and is one of the most historical gems when visiting the place. The bell has witnessed significant events in Sagada's history, including the arrival of American missionaries and the town's development. The photo was taken 20 years ago. I saw some recent photos on the internet. In them, they put a circular fence around the bell.

It's so cool how they turned a bell into a sculpture!

The floor and short wall made of stones make it appear even more fascinating. You were lucky you got there before they put the fence, I guess.

@rakski If it tolled I can imagine how loud the noise would be

I don't think so. It is out open for public but the difference now, there is a fence surrounding it now
