The North Bastion formerly the Baluarte San Pablo (St. Paul’s Bastion) was part of the fortifications of Gibraltar in the north of the peninsula protecting the town against attack from the mainland of Spain. The bastion was based on the older Giralda tower built in 1309. The bastion with a mole that extended into the Bay of Gibraltar to the west and a curtain wall stretching to the Rock of Gibraltar on its east was a key element in the defenses of the peninsula.
