Devil's Tower Road

Devil's Tower played a significant role in the Rock's defense. A tower erected along the coast stood on the isthmus near the eastern end of this road. Spaniards used this tower to warn off pirates and other attackers sailing towards Gibraltar by lighting bonfires and alerting defenders further up the coast.
