TITLE: Light cannons

The Castillitos Battery is a coastal artillery support fortification located in Cape Tiñoso, Cartagena, Spain, declared a Site of Cultural Interest in 1997. It was equipped with two coastal cannons from the British company Vickers-Armstrong, whose power was sufficient to fire a projectile weighing almost one ton at a distance of 35 kilometers. Its purpose was to protect the entrance to Cartagena Bay, along with its twin, the Ash Battery. During the Spanish Civil War, it fired a salvo against Franco's navy in April 1937.
