Princess Anne's Battery, Artillery battery on Willis's Plateau, Gibraltar
Princess Anne's Battery contains four gun emplacements encircled by concrete rings that house ammunition lockers and storage bunkers at each position point.
Built in 1732 and named after George II's eldest daughter, the battery initially mounted five 12-pounder guns before expanding to nine cannons during the Great Siege.
The battery stands as a testament to Gibraltar's military engineering, featuring the last complete set of 5.25-inch anti-aircraft guns in existence.
Access to Princess Anne's Battery requires advance arrangements through the Gibraltar Tourist Board as the site maintains restricted entry protocols.
The battery experienced a devastating magazine explosion in 1782 that claimed fourteen lives and necessitated substantial rebuilding of its flank section.
