Places You’ll Visit
Corregidor Island is located at the entrance to Manila Bay, off the southwestern coast of Luzon in the Philippines. Because of its strategic location, it was heavily fortified as part of the Harbor Defenses of Manila Bay during the American colonial period. Known as Fort Mills, Corregidor was the largest and most important of the four fortified islands protecting the entrance to the bay.
During World War II, Corregidor played a crucial role in the defense of the Philippines against the Japanese invasion and later in the country’s liberation. The island became the site of some of the war’s fiercest battles and remains one of the Philippines’ most significant historical landmarks.
Today, Corregidor is an open-air historical park where visitors can explore well-preserved World War II sites, including the Malinta Tunnel, the Mile-Long Barracks, and the Pacific War Memorial.
