The legendary tunnels form a labyrinth, originally designed by the British to act as a defense system during the Great Siege of 1779-1783, which greatly assisted their victory over the French and Spanish armies. Great Siege Tunnels were dug manually and blasted by gunpowder; a military effort headed by Sergeant Major Ince to secure guns onto a northern facing projection of the monstrous Rock of Gibraltar. Admission to the Gibraltar Nature Reserve allows visitors an elevated 360 degree view of Gibraltar and neighboring countries; sightseers can even see Africa. Guests can choose to walk the nature trails or upgrade tickets to include walks through the rock’s caves and historical tunnels.
