King’s Bastion Leisure Centre opened in March 2008
The recently opened Kings Bastion Leisure Centre have today announced the launch of their own website.

The King’s Bastion Leisure Centre, which was opened on the 1st March this year, is set within the walls of a Bastion which forms an important part of the historic defences of the Fortress of Gibraltar and defended the Town against invading forces during the Sieges in the 18th century.

More recently during the 1960’s & 1970’s the King’s Bastion was used as Gibraltar’s main electricity generating station and provided power to most of Gibraltar.

Today the bastion has been transformed into the newest leisure and activities attraction in Gibraltar, the prestigious Kings Bastion Leisure Centre.

The new website, launched today, can be found at www.kingsbastion.gov.gi and offers information about the facilities available at the Centre.
