Ermita Hill Review

Baler's Ermita Hill contains a treasure of historical landmarks. Aside from offering a panoramic view of Sabang Beach and the Pacific Ocean, the hike up reveals several interesting sights along the way: Tromba Marina sculptures at the base, which commemorates the tsunami that almost wiped out the town in 1735, a small tunnel that used to be a bandits' escape route, the historical Ermita Hill Chapel and marker, and the White Cross that lies at the top of the hill.
