Geocache Description:

A series of caches giving a tour of some siege weapons.

This should be an easy series with good parking near every cache. I highly suggest that no one finds this cache in the evening, as the nearby restaurant is usually busy.

Catapulta

A catapulta was a Roman machine for throwing arrows and javelins, 12 or 15 feet (4.6 m) long, at the enemy. The name comes from the Greek (katapeltes), because it could pierce or 'go through' (kata) a shield (pelta). The design was probably inherited, along with the ballista, from the Greek armies.
