Corregidor Island is an island located at the entrance of Manila Bay in southwestern part of Luzon Island in the Philippines. Due to this location, Corregidor has historically been fortified with coastal artillery to defend the entrance of Manila Bay and Manila itself from attacks by enemy warships. Located 48 kilometres inland, Manila is the largest city and the most important seaport in the Philippines for centuries, from the colonial rule of Spain, Japan, and the United States, up until the establishment of the Third Philippine Republic in 1946. Corregidor is the largest of the islands that formed the harbor defenses of Manila Bay, together with El Fraile Island, Caballo Island, and Carabao Island, which were all fortified during the American colonial period. The island was also the site of a small military airfield, as part of the defense. During World War II, Corregidor played an important role during the invasion and liberation of the Philippines from the Japanese forces.
