A
Princess Caroline's Battery
About 30 minutes' walk north (downhill) from the top cable-car station is Princess Caroline's Battery, housing the Military Heritage Centre. From here one road leads down to the Princess Royal Battery - more gun emplacements - while another leads up to the Great Siege Tunnels (or Upper Galleries), a complex defence system hewn out of the Rock by the British during the siege of 1779-83 to provide gun emplacements.
They constitute only a tiny proportion of more than 70km of tunnels and galleries in the Rock, most of which are off limits to the public.

This little exhibition is worth glancing through on your way back to town if you've just come from a visit to the impressive Rock and Nature Reserve.
