Why these tags

Heritage

From the sources

“The fort was built by Spanish Augustinian Recollects and is older than the one in Culion proper, the Immaculate Conception Church built by the Jesuits.”

“In 1930, the Jesuits used the coral stones used on the fort to build the walls of the Immaculate Conception Parish Church, also known as Culion Church.”

Sentences are from this town's Wikipedia and Wikivoyage articles, found by code because they mention the vibe; they are not necessarily the ones the model relied on.
