Parson’s Lodge is a well-preserved Victorian coastal battery, located at a site of the 13th Rosia Battery which dates to the 18th Century. For many years, the Gibraltar Museum has had its field station at Parson’s Lodge, providing accommodation for visiting scientists when undertaking research in Gibraltar like, for example, during the excavation season at Gorham’s Cave. Parson’s Lodge is also used as an outdoor experimental archaeology site.
The Government has announced that regulations are due to be published on Thursday 12th November to bring into effect the Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) that was signed with the United Kingdom in November 2013 which is colloquially known as UK FATCA.
