Green's Lodge Battery, Artillery battery on the North Face of Gibraltar.
The artillery battery features stone fortifications positioned on elevated ground, containing gun emplacements that overlook the northern approaches to Gibraltar.
Constructed in 1776 with five 24-pounder guns, Green's Lodge Battery played a central role during the Great Siege of Gibraltar from 1779 to 1783.
The battery bears the name of General Sir William Green, who served as chief engineer of Gibraltar for twenty-two years and designed numerous fortifications.
Access to Green's Lodge Battery requires following the nature trail that starts through a gap in fencing along Signal Station Road.
Mountain goats now inhabit the battery site, which provides views of North Front Cemetery, the airport runway, and the Spanish town of La Línea.
