O’Hara’s Battery, located at the very top of the Rock of Gibraltar, marks the highest accessible point on the peninsula and offers some of the most spectacular views across the Strait of Gibraltar, the Mediterranean Sea, and even the coast of North Africa on a clear day.
Built in the late 19th century as part of Gibraltar’s coastal defense system, the site features a massive 9.2-inch gun that once played a key role in protecting the territory. Today, visitors can not only enjoy the breathtaking scenery but also step inside the battery itself, where the preserved interior reveals the workings of its gun chambers and the daily life of the soldiers stationed there. It is a fascinating stop on any Gibraltar Rock Tour, combining natural beauty with an authentic piece of military history.
