Culebrina de 1578 (Culverin of 1578)
(but it looks more like a mortar)
Paseo Marítimo Rey de España
Fuengirola, March 2024
“The Culebrina from 1578, on display in Fuengirola, is located at number 42 on the Paseo Marítimo Rey de España in this town in the province of Malaga. Sunk during the English attack on Cadiz and recovered from the seabed during the dredging of the Bay of Cadiz in 1952, Luis Méndez Vigo Sánchez Guerra donated it to Fuengirola. After its restoration, it was placed in its current location in 1999, resting on a robust gun carriage faithful to the original from 1578, on a circular pedestal surrounded by a chain supported by bollards.” (Culebrina de 1578, MonumentalNet)
