Sitges: The cannon on the bastion of Sitges

Translation from Catalan to English:

"This is one of the six cannons of the battery at the bastion of Sitges that on 27 April 1797 sustained a long battle with two English frigates that tried to capture four merchant boats anchored at our beach.

After four hours of cannonade the English ships had to retire, defeated, without achieving their goal."
