Bunkers of Punta Falconera

The Punta Falconera bunkers are located in the municipality of Roses. They were built between 1945 and 1946, as part of a defense plan devised by dictator Franco in response to the possible threat of invasion by allied troops.

The northern part of the bay of Roses was defended by two batteries, one at Punta Falconera and the other under the lighthouse, while the southern part was protected by a line of bunkers located at Punta de Montgó.
The bunkers are built with reinforced concrete structures located underground, while their upper part is formed by a layer of earth and the opening of the cannon room, facing the bay. These defensive structures had a set of support buildings: residence, infirmary, warehouse, etc.

By the late 1980s, the Punta Falconera bunkers were no longer in use.
