Princess Caroline's Battery, Artillery battery on Willis's Plateau, Gibraltar
The battery stands at the northern section of the Upper Rock Nature Reserve, featuring underground magazines and strategic observation positions over the surrounding territory.
Constructed in 1732 during the reign of King George II, the battery received a major upgrade in 1905 with the installation of a 6-inch Mark VII gun.
The Military Heritage Centre within the battery contains the Memorial Chamber, displaying rolls of honor for regiments that served in Gibraltar since the 18th century.
The battery opens daily from 9:00 to 18:00, with entrance included in the Nature Reserve ticket and guided tours explaining the fortification system.
The ammunition storage room incorporated special window designs that allowed natural light without requiring open flames, maintaining safety protocols for soldiers.
