Princess Anne’s BatteryPrincess Anne's Battery - Gibraltar

Princess Anne’s Battery is an artillery battery located on Willis’s Plateau at the northern end of the Upper Rock Nature Reserve, above Princess Caroline’s Battery. Named after Anne, Princess Royal and Princess of Orange, the eldest daughter of George II. In 1732, guns were first mounted on the battery, which also saw action during the Great Siege of Gibraltar. The Battery was updated in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, with the latter modernisation entailing the installation of four QF 5.25 inch guns with both anti-aircraft and coastal defence capabilities. The battery was manned into the early 1980s, after which it was decommissioned. The guns were refurbished in the early twenty-first century, and represent the world’s only intact battery of 5.25 inch anti-aircraft guns. Princess Anne’s Battery is listed with the Gibraltar Heritage Trust.

City Under Siege Exhibition
 
 

The buildings in which this exhibition is housed are probably amongst the first buildings ever constructed by the British in Gibraltar, thus dating back to the beginning of the 18th century.
Graffiti, the earliest of which dates back to 1726, can still be seen on the walls. It is thought that soldiers mounting guard in the area spent their time drawing graffiti so as not to fall asleep during the long hours of duty, an offence which in those days was punishable by death.
