  3. Military Heritage Centre and Great Siege Tunnels

    Princess Caroline's Battery, a half-hour walk north (downhill) from the top cable-car station, houses a Military Heritage Centre. From here a road leads up to the impressive Great Siege Tunnels, hand-hewn by the British for gun emplacements during the 1779-to-1783 siege. They constitute a tiny proportion of the more than 70km of tunnels in the Rock, most of which are off limits.

  4. 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.
