Marble Workshops

The marble quarry defines the island of Romblon and there are many quarry sites high in the mountains that seem to have an endless supply of marble. Under the green lush surroundings and dirt reveals the island’s hidden gem showing the beautiful marble mountain. Big blocks of the mineral are cut down to smaller pieces. Mining for marble provides livelihood to many families in the island, especially those living on the foothills.

Best visited at sunset, this newly restored Spanish fort looks over the town and the harbor, as well as the gorgeous bay and nearby islands. Going up this fort takes around 120 steps, followed by a pathway adorned with various marble artworks and mosaics. Restored to its original state after years of neglect, it is one of the twin forts, each sitting on two opposite hills overlooking the port of Romblon. Fuerza de San Andres initially served as the town’s fort to prevent invasion of the moros and pirates that roam the waters.
