According to the legend Dumaguete City was named after the word 'daguit' which means 'tosnatch/kidnap'. The term daguit was given because of the rampant raids by marauding pirates from the south in search for slaves. To warn the fishing village of the incoming raids by marauding pirates the Belfry Tower was created in the year 1811. The belfry is a four-storey ovoid tower supported by three buttresses. Located near, but separated from the Cathedral, it is made of coral and lime with brick facings, and has arched and diamond-shaped windows.
Today, the Dumaguete Belfry Tower still stands proud amidst the modern buildings surrounding it. The amazing huge old Spanish inspired structure that certainly calls the attention of the passerby on the busy Perdices Street is the oldest landmark in Dumaguete City.
