This coin-op binocular is located in one of the bastions of Elvas, a fortress city recently classified as UNESCO site. However, the views available to the device are not about Elvas. They are not even about Portugal. They are about Badajoz, a Spanish town across the border, and the siege which took place there in 1812, when a joint Portuguese-English Army defeated the French there.
