Built in 1968 by the US Government for 1.23 million dollars (other sources reported it to be at 3 million dollars), it was dedicated to the Filipino and American forces that fought in the Pacific during the Second World War.

Duration: 1 hour
Stop At: Middle Side Barracks, Luzon Philippines
This massive edifice was built in 1915 to house the 60th Coast Artillery anti-aircraft regiment, the US Regular Army, the 91st Coast Artillery and the Philippine Scouts. Composed of two three-story buildings, its design was based on our country’s tropical climate; high ceiling, large openings and perimeter galleries for ventilation. The windows were interestingly made of capiz (mother of pearl) sliding panels like those found on Spanish Colonial era houses in the country.
All that can be seen now are the slowly deteriorating skeletons of the barracks after it was bombed by the invading Japanese forces in December 1941.
Duration: 30 minutes
Stop At: Rd To Battery Way, Luzon Philippines
Battery Way is armed with four 12-inch mortar carriages capable of firing highly explosive shells as far as 8.3 miles or 13.35 km in any direction. Each mortar required a crew of at least 14 men to load and fire the shells. The mortars could be lifted to a trajectory between 45 to 70 degrees, which made them ideal for targeting enemies entrenched in higher ground in Bataan. The battery was named after Second Lt. Henry Way of the 4th U.S. Artillery, who died in service in the Philippines in 1900.

During the Battle of Corregidor 5 and 6 May 1942), the tunnel served as the headquarters of General Douglas MacArthur. Malinta Tunnel also served as the seat of government of the Commonwealth of the Philippines.
During the re-taking of the island by U.S. forces in 1945, Japanese soldiers who were inside the tunnels committed suicide by detonating explosives within the tunnel complex on 23 February 1945.Their bodies have never been excavated.
