Historical Tourist attractions
Café Bojeador Lighthouse. Built in 1892, the lighthouse stands
on a promontory in Burgos, 45 kilometers north of Laoag City.
It still sends out signals to ships passing by the Cape facing
the northern portion of the South China Sea.
Tobacco Monopoly Monument. The monument was constructed at the
foot of the Marcos Bridge to serve as a memorial to the lifting
of the Tobacco Monopoly which from 1875 to 1881 gave the Ilocos
untold miseries as they were obliged to plant tobacco to be delivered
solely to the government.
General Ricarte National Shrine. Built in honor of General Artemio Ricarte,
a native of Batac and a revolutionary hero.
