Informazioni World War II Tunnels
During World War II, the British military expanded Gibraltar's tunnel network to over 30 miles, creating a vast underground city capable of housing 16,000 troops. The WWII Tunnels, accessible within the Nature Reserve, include ammunition stores, a telephone exchange, a power station, a hospital, and headquarters for General Eisenhower, who planned the Allied invasion of North Africa (Operation Torch) from within the Rock. The tunnels offer a vivid glimpse into wartime life deep inside the fortress.
Consigli per i visitatori
The tunnels are cool and damp - bring a light jacket.
Don't miss the recreated Eisenhower headquarters and the wartime hospital ward.
Audio guides or information panels provide excellent context about the tunnels' WWII role.
These are different from the Great Siege Tunnels - make sure to visit both.
