Bolonia Beach Bunker, Military bunker in Bolonia Beach, Spain.
The concrete fortification stands on the sandy shoreline, facing the Strait of Gibraltar with an elevated position for strategic coastal observation.
The structure was built between 1939 and 1940 as part of Franco's defense system, using labor from 30,000 Republican prisoners during World War II.
The bunker represents a physical reminder of Spain's military heritage, now integrated into the coastal landscape alongside ancient Roman ruins of Baelo Claudia.
Visitors can access the bunker site through an asphalt road constructed during the same period, connecting it to nearby parking areas and beach facilities.
The fortification is part of a network of 120 kilometers of defensive structures stretching from Gibraltar to the Guadiaro River, built to protect southern Spain.
