NEGRETE BATTERY
Built between 1930 and 1934, according to Primo de Rivera's Plan (1926 Defence Plan). It was the first antiaircraft battery that was fired on Cartagena's coastal front.
The civil works began in 1929, building a military road from Cenizas' position. The ascent of the materials of great tonnage was done by laying a 150m railway line where the cars advanced forming a train. When cars travelled by a section of rail, this railway was dismantled and reassembled in front of the cars located at front.
In the year 1931 it was armed with four AA 105/45 cannons.
During the Spanish Civil War it fired 293 projectiles. After the civil war the battery was left with only two of its four pieces. In 1952 the two remaining pieces were dismantled to be used in Los Dolores battery, being decommissioned.
