The Great Siege Tunnels of Gibraltar - 28th July, 2010
Views within and from Gibraltar's Great Siege Tunnels, known as the Galleries or the Great Siege Tunnels. The first of these was dug towards the end of the four years' siege which lasted from 1779-1783. General Elliot, afterwards Lord Heathfield, who commanded the garrison throughout the siege, was anxious to bring flanking fire on the Spanish batteries in the plain below the North face of the Rock. On the suggestion of Sergeant Ince of the Royal Engineers, he had a tunnel bored from a point above Willis's Battery to communicate with the Notch, a natural projection from the North face. The plan was to mount a battery there. There was no intention at first of making embrasures in this tunnel, but an opening was found necessary for ventilation; as soon as it had been made a gun was mounted in it. By the end of the siege, the British had constructed six such embrasures, and mounted four guns. The Galleries, which tourists may visit, were a later development of the same idea and were finished in 1797. They consist of a whole system of halls, embrasures, and passages, of a total length of nearly 304 m (997 ft). From them, one may see a series of unique views of the Bay of Gibraltar, the isthmus, and Spain.

Gibraltar is a British Overseas Territory and headland, on Spain's south coast. It’s dominated by the Rock of Gibraltar, a 426m-high limestone ridge. First settled by the Moors in the Middle Ages and later ruled by Spain, the outpost was ceded to the British in 1713. Layers of fortifications include the remains of a 14th-century Moorish Castle and the 18th century Great Siege Tunnels, which were expanded in WWII.
The amazing this I saw is that I
it has a highway for cars, people and buses and an air strip or run way at the same time.

The Great Siege of Gibraltar 1779-1783
The Great Siege of Gibraltar was an epic four year struggle between two uneven sides. The small British garrison commanded by Governor George Augustus Eliott faced the significantly superior combined forces of the French and Spanish army and navy. The defenders however could count on the natural defensive features of the rock together with Governor Eliott’s rugged determination to defend the fortress at all costs. The Great Siege of Gibraltar is characterized by the ingenuity displayed by both attackers and defenders in the race to develop siege techniques which would gain their side the upper hand.
