Corregidor Island, Phillipines

Corregidor Island is a lofty island located at the entrance of Manila Bay in the southwestern part of Luzon Island in the Philippines. Due to this location, Corregidor was fortified with several coastal artillery and ammunition magazines to defend the entrance of Manila Bay and the City of Manila. Corregidor is one of the important historic and tourist sites in the country.

Corregidor is an historic monument as well as a tourist destination. Many travel companies offer day tours on the island featuring military installations used during World War II. Most of the war-ravaged buildings have not been restored, and left how it was after the war in reverence to the Filipino and American soldiers who died there.
