Hilltop Church and War-Damaged Town, Luzon, Philippines, WWII
A hilltop church rises above a densely built Philippine town on Luzon, its Spanish colonial-style bell tower still standing amid the surrounding damage of war. The scarred, window-blown building at right bears witness to the fierce fighting of the 1945 campaign to liberate the Philippines from Japanese occupation. Project: 218436
