Fort Culion is a citadel built in 1740 during the Spanish-era in the Philippines. The Recollect Augustinians constructed the fort to defend themselves from Muslim invaders. The structure was built of stone, square-shaped, and with four bastions.[1][2]

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.[3] The fort, now in ruins, currently serves as a lighthouse. Its canons are still visible[4]
The National Historical Commission of the Philippines declared the fort as a historical landmark in 1939.[2]
