| La bateria de costa nº 8 de
Punta Falconera (Roses) Coast battery nº 8 |
|
|
La part nord de la badia de Roses era defensada
per dues bateries, la nº7
situada sota el far i la nº8
emplaçada a la punta Falconera.
Formada per un búnquer
de comandament a la part alta i quatre casamates artillades amb canons Vickers
de 15, 2 cm , a diferència de la bateria de Punta Milà aquí no existeix
cap xarxa de galeries subterrànies que els uneixi. A la part sudoest del polvorí unes escales permeten baixar a una galeria inferior de 9,5 m d'ample per 1.8 d'alçada que després de 13 m permet accedir a la sala del canó per pou de servei situat sota el muntatge de suport. |

With a gunnery control bunker in the heighs and four bunkers armed with Vickers 15,2 cm guns, unlike Punta Milà batery here there is no network of subterranean galleries between them . Bunkers have an acces gallery of 30 m long, 1,5 m wide by 2 m heigh near the entrance and 3,40 m on the last meters before turn to South and become wider (2,20 m) and find two lateral rooms. Then we reach the powder-magazine, a 11 x 4 m room, subdivided into four warehouses where was stored the powder and the bullets, communicated by two lateral corridors (1,5 m wide and 8 m long) with the gun's room that have cylindric shape and a diameter of 7,3 m. On the southwestern side of the powder-magazine a staircase down to a gallery of 9,5 m wide by 1,8 m height that after 13 m place us below the gun's room. |
