Renovations in the area of the City Under Siege exhibition have uncovered the ruins of an 18th century defensive tower.

Wright Tech is leading on the project; it's believed the structure once formed part of the southern defences of Old Willis’s Magazine.

Managing Director and local historian, Chris Wright, told Gibraltar Today it was a privilege to tell the stories that are only now being revealed.
