Anti-aircraft Emplacement of Imperial Japan at Altteureu Airfield in Moseulpo, Jeju

Built around 1945, this facility was a military installation constructed to protect Altteureu Airfield, which was regarded at the time as strategically very important. It is an anti-aircraft gun emplacement built around 1945 as a circular concrete structure; of five such emplacements, two were completed and the remaining three were left unfinished. As one of the Japanese military's facilities from the Japanese colonial period, it is evidence of Japan's attempt, in the final stages of the Pacific War as it was pushed onto the defensive, to turn Jeju Island into a base of resistance.
