Corregidor is an island, shaped like a tadpole. It is located on the mouth of Manila Bay. It serves as a fortress against its invaders. It is also called “the rock” because of its rocky landscape. This island is divided into sections. The main part is where the headquarters, barracks, war memorial, lighthouse, Eternal Flame and golf courses are located. In the middle you can see the campsite, aviary, Bird Park and some ruins. At the end of the island is where the hotel, Gen. MacArthur Park, Gen. Wainwright Park and San Jose Chapel can be found.
