Description
The battery was above the Line Wall Curtain in Gibraltar and defended the west side including Gibraltar Harbour. Today the battery has been converted into a promenade.[1] Both Gardiner's Battery and Victoria Battery were higher or retired batteries that fired over the top of Saluting Battery that was on the coast.[2]

gollark: I guess you could require people to include specific HTML tags in the site with some attributes you can read.
