Gheos
Great Siege Tunnels

Gibraltar's Rock has some 70 km (43.4 miles) of tunnels hewn out in it. A small part of these tunnels, that were gun emplacements hewn out by hand by the British during the 1779-83 siege, are open to the public. They are known as the Great Siege Tunnels and can be reached from the Military Heritage Center, which is not far from Princess Caroline's battery. The battery is about 30 minutes downhill in northern direction from the top cable-car station on the Rock. Nearby is the Tower of Homage, which is all that remains from Gibraltar's Muslim castle. The castle was originally built in 1333.
