Victualling Yard, Military supply facility in Gibraltar, United Kingdom.

The Victualling Yard complex spans across Rosia Bay, featuring storage buildings and a berthing area for Royal Navy vessels to obtain provisions.

Construction of the facility began in 1799 after John Jervis recommended relocating the Royal Navy supply depot to Rosia Bay for strategic protection.

The entrance of the Victualling Yard remains registered with the Gibraltar Heritage Trust as a testament to British naval infrastructure.

The facility maintained large quantities of food, water, and clothing supplies for naval fleets until its military operations ceased in the 1980s.

The complex included underground water tanks constructed by Giovanni Maria Boschetti, which were operational from 1804 until their removal in 2006.

Inception: 1812
