Frouxeira Military Batteries

Frouxeira Military Batteries

A perfect combination of history, culture and nature
Located in a strategic enclave on the Galician coast, these ancient military installations allow you to immerse yourself in the past and discover how this territory was defended against the threats from the sea.

Built in the 20th century, these batteries were part of the defensive system of the Ferrol estuary, one of the most important naval bases in Spain. The installations housed powerful light projectors that illuminated the sea at night, facilitating the detection of enemy ships and submarines.

In addition, the batteries are located in a natural park that invites you to connect with nature, through routes that allow you to walk among the native vegetation and discover the local flora and fauna.
