Corregidor Island lighthouse, Spanish colonial lighthouse in Cavite City, Philippines

The lighthouse features an octagonal whitewashed stone tower with a lantern and double gallery rising from a single-story stone keeper's house.

The original lighthouse, completed in 1853 under Spanish rule, guided maritime traffic through Manila Bay until its destruction during World War II.

The lighthouse represents the Spanish colonial architectural influence in the Philippines, incorporating cross-shaped windows into its stone tower design.

The current solar-powered light system, installed in the 1990s, generates three white flashes every 20 seconds visible up to 36 miles into the South China Sea.

The structure stands 193 meters above sea level, making it one of the highest elevation lighthouses in the Philippines.
