      The Batería de Castillitos is an impressive military fortification. It was built between 1933 and 1936 on the top of Cabo Tiñoso and was used to defend the Bay of Cartagena, a strategically important port and naval base. Particularly impressive are the two gigantic Vickers-Armstrongs cannons with a caliber of 38.1 cm and a range of up to 35 kilometers. These cannons were capable of hitting enemy ships far offshore and were considered technologically advanced at the time.

      The battery is now a popular tour destination and offers spectacular views over the Mediterranean. The well-preserved complex allows visitors to explore the rooms and cannon emplacements, gaining an insight into the military history and defense strategies of the early 20th century.
