"During the early part of the 20th century a system of coastal defences was constructed to protect the vital harbour of Cartagena. This included forts, guns, fire control systems, searchlights and many other elements.
The system included four of the largest artillery pieces ever made – huge 38.1 Vickers guns with a range of some 20 miles. These guns remain in place. There are two batteries at either side of the shore line, Cenizas and Castillitos. Cenizas protected Cartagena from the North and on the Cape Tiniso the Castillitos battery
Each battery had two guns Vickers 1923 model of 38.1 cm in size. The tube of the barrel measures 17.7 m and weighs 86.3 metric tonnes. Its reach was 35 Km and the projectile weighed 885 kg". Vickers guns were made in England.

Black and white photos are often seen as “timeless,” and many photographers and viewers tend to think of them more artistic than their more popular color counterparts. A black and white image has a surreal and almost dreamlike quality, too;
