Great Siege Tunnels

Great Siege Tunnels Review

These tunnels, formerly known as the Upper Galleries, were carved out during the Great Siege of 1779-82 at the northern end of Old Queen's Road. You can plainly see the openings from which the guns were pointed at the Spanish invaders. They form part of what is arguably the most impressive defense system anywhere in the world. The nearby and privately managed World War II Tunnels are also open to the public but are less dramatic.
