Koror Island, Pacific island in Palau.
The island covers 8 square kilometers and reaches a height of 140 meters above sea level in the western Pacific Ocean.
During World War II, the island experienced significant changes, transforming from a settlement of 30,000 residents to a devastated territory requiring reconstruction.
The oral traditions of Palau recognize Koror as one of the children of Milad, establishing its central role in the region's heritage.
Three quarters of Palau's population resides on this island, making it the primary commercial center with essential shipping facilities at Ngemelachel harbor.
The island connects to Babelthuap through a suspension bridge that replaced an earlier structure which collapsed in 1996, disrupting regional infrastructure.
