Known as the Muralla de San Bernando (English: St. Bernard's Wall) during Gibraltar's , it was fully adapted to mount cannon facing the isthmus with the old Moorish archery towers being pulled down and replaced by bastions. This battery forms part of a series of batteries built on the Moorish and Spanish lines that zigzagged up the hill of the Moorish Castle to the Tower of Homage on the Rock of Gibraltar.
