The lighthouse on Topside is one of the oldest landmarks in Corregidor. A lighthouse was built by the Spaniards and lit for the first time in 1853. The lighting apparatus was improved in 1897 and the grounds further improved by the Americans. During WWII, the lighthouse was reduced to ruins during the siege of Corregidor. A rehabilitated lighthouse stands on the same spot where the first lighthouse once stood.
