Corregidor Island lighthouse, Spanish colonial lighthouse in Cavite City, Philippines
The Corregidor Island lighthouse is an octagonal whitewashed stone tower with a lantern and double gallery rising above a single-story stone keeper's house. The entire structure sits on the island overlooking the waters of Manila Bay with a clear, functional design.
The original lighthouse was completed in 1853 under Spanish rule to guide ships through Manila Bay. The structure was destroyed during World War II but was subsequently reconstructed.
The lighthouse represents the Spanish colonial architectural influence in the Philippines, incorporating cross-shaped windows into its stone tower design.
The beacon now operates on a solar-powered system installed in the 1990s that produces three white flashes every 20 seconds. These signals can be seen from distances up to 58 kilometers across the South China Sea.
The lighthouse sits at an elevation of about 193 meters above sea level, making it one of the highest-positioned lighthouses in the Philippines. This elevated location allows its light to travel far across the waters.
