Levant Battery, Artillery battery in Gibraltar, United Kingdom
Located beneath the Levanter cloud at an elevation of 560 feet, the Levant Battery contains a single pit with underground structures for defense operations.
The British military commenced construction of Levant Battery in 1901, installing a 9.2-inch Mark X breech-loading gun that was completed by August 1903.
The Levant Battery represents a key component of Gibraltar's military heritage, demonstrating the territory's strategic importance in Mediterranean naval operations.
Visitors can access the battery site within the Upper Rock Nature Reserve, where informational signs detail the structure's military functions and specifications.
During World War I, on December 31, 1915, the battery's gun successfully engaged and destroyed German submarines operating near Gibraltar's waters.
