Douglas Cave is a cave in the British Overseas Territory of Gibraltar.[1]
Douglas Cave is at the bottom of Douglas Path which runs north–south along the top ridge of the Rock of Gibraltar on the road leading up to O'Hara's Battery,[2] all within the Upper Rock Nature Reserve.
First occupied during the Great Siege of Gibraltar (1779-1783).[3] Re-occupied in 1940, the cave is, unusually, inside a brick building and contains a single stone seat and the remains of a simple plaque. The reason for this construction is unknown, although some upper rock camping experts believe it was used to store a high-powered searchlight during WWII.[4]
