Bolonia Beach Bunker, Military bunker in Bolonia Beach, Spain.
Bolonia Beach Bunker is a concrete fortification that stands on the sandy shoreline facing the Strait of Gibraltar from an elevated position. The structure commands a clear view of the sea and beach below it.
The structure was built between 1939 and 1940 as part of Franco's coastal defense system. It formed part of a wider network of fortifications designed to protect southern Spain.
The bunker serves as a physical reminder of Spain's military past and now shares the coastal landscape with the Roman ruins of Baelo Claudia nearby. Both layers of history shape how visitors experience this stretch of shore today.
The site is accessible via an asphalt road connected to nearby parking areas and beach facilities. It is wise to wear sturdy shoes, as the terrain is uneven and conditions can vary with weather.
The bunker is part of a network of approximately 120 kilometers of defensive structures stretching from Gibraltar to the Guadiaro River. This system reveals the scale of coastal preparation during that period.
