About this work
Coastal artillery Castillitos, Cartagena, Spain. It was built together with the coastal artillery Cenizas in order to protect the entrance to the Bay of Cartagena. The construction took place between 1933 and 1936 following a project from 1926 during the dictatorship of Primo de Rivera. The canons were delivered by the British company Vickers-Armstrong (model 38,1/45 cm of 15 inches). This artillery is capable of shooting a projectile of one tonne to a distance of 35 kilometres (22 mi). It's a Spanish National Heritage Monument since 1985.
