Parque de la Batería, Military fortification park in Torremolinos, Spain.

Parque de la Batería is a park in Torremolinos built on a former military fortification site from the Spanish Civil War. The grounds contain gun positions, a network of tunnels beneath the surface, and a central lake, allowing visitors to walk through and understand how the defensive installation was organized.

The site was built in 1937 when Franco's Nationalist forces constructed the fortifications and gun positions to control views over Malaga Bay. These defensive structures served key military purposes during the conflict in the region.

The park takes its name from the coastal battery that once stood here. Visitors can walk among three artillery emplacements and see cannons kept on site, while the 14.7-metre lookout tower, reached by lift or stairs, now serves as a viewpoint over the surroundings.

The park is accessible via well-marked paths, and there is an observation tower you can reach by stairs or elevator. Most areas are easy to explore on foot, though some underground sections can be damp.

Below ground, you can still find the original network of ammunition storage rooms and communication tunnels that linked different gun positions together. These passages reveal how the defensive installation operated during wartime and how soldiers maintained contact between locations.
