About: Rosia Water Tanks

An Entity of Type: architectural structure, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

The Rosia Water Tanks were large water tanks built at the turn of the nineteenth century at Rosia Bay in the British Overseas Territory of Gibraltar. They were constructed based on the recommendation by Admiral John Jervis, 1st Earl of St Vincent that the Victualling Yard complex be relocated to Rosia Bay. The complex allowed Royal Navy vessels to obtain both food and water at one site. The Rosia Water Tanks remained in the possession of the Ministry of Defence until 2004, at which time they were transferred to the Government of Gibraltar. Despite local and international criticism, and a court case brought by the Gibraltar Heritage Trust, the tanks were demolished in 2006 to make way for affordable housing.

dbo:abstract
  • Los Tanques de Agua de Rosia​ (en inglés: Rosia Water Tanks)​ eran unos grandes tanques de agua construidos a finales del siglo XIX en la Bahía de Rosia (Rosia Bay), en el territorio británico de ultramar de Gibraltar. Fueron construidos sobre la base de la recomendación hecha por el almirante John Jervis, 1.er Conde de San Vicente (St Vincent) que trasladó el complejo Victualling Yard a Rosia Bay. El complejo permitió a los buques de la Marina real británica (Royal Navy) obtener alimento y agua en un sitio. Los tanques de agua de Rosia permanecieron en poder del Ministerio de Defensa británico hasta 2004, momento en el que fueron transferidos al Gobierno de Gibraltar. A pesar de la crítica local e internacional, y un caso judicial iniciado por la Gibraltar Heritage Trust, los tanques fueron demolidos en 2006 para dar paso a unas viviendas. Cuando la financiación del desarrollador OEM Internacional resultó insuficiente para completar el proyecto el gobierno embargó el sitio. (es)
