There is also a lower segment that provides the most adventurous visitor with an experience never to be forgotten, however, these tours need to be pre-arranged. Apes’ Den One of Gibraltar’s most important tourist attractions, the Barbary Macaques are actually tailless monkeys. We recommend that you do not carry any visible signs of food or touch these animals as they may bite. There is a maximum fine of £4,000 for feeding the monkeys. The Great Siege Tunnels The Great Siege Tunnels are an impressive defence system devised by military engineers. Excavated during the Great Siege of 1779-83, these tunnels were hewn into the rock with the aid of the simplest of tools and gunpowder. World War II Tunnels - Rock and Fortress During WWII an attack on Gibraltar was imminent. The answer was to construct a massive network of tunnels in order to build a fortress inside a fortress. Moorish Castle The fortifications on and around the site of the Moorish Castle were first built in 1160. The Tower of Homage, its main feature, dates primarily from about 1333 AD when Abu’l Hassan recaptured Gibraltar from the Spanish. Cable Car Running since 1966, the Cable Car takes you to the top of the Rock where you can witness breathtaking views.

Formerly the site of public executions, this commercial square has become the hub of social activities. Gibraltar Museum The museum houses a collection of Gibraltar’s original artefacts, old prints and photographs along with an audiovisual presentation of historical interest. The Rock’s rich and diverse natural history is also represented while the lower part of the building is arguably the best preserved Moorish Bath House in Europe. King’s Bastion King’s Bastion was the keystone of Gibraltar’s defences during the Great Siege. Today it is in use as a leisure centre, boasting a bowling alley, ice-skating rink and multi-screen cinema amongst its facilities. Adjacent to the leisure centre, one can enjoy a beautifully landscaped green recreational area called Commonwealth Park. Out of town Catalan Bay th It was Genoese fishermen who first settled in the area in the 18 century, although the village was named after it was considered a haven for Catalans fleeing from Napoleon’s th invasion of Spain in the 19 century Alameda Botanic Gardens and Wildlife Park This beautiful green haven, with its plants and trees is indeed a hidden gem. Also located within the gardens is a Wildlife Conservation Park. The Lighthouse The Gibraltar Lighthouse is the only one outside the U.K. regulated by Trinity House. It dates back to 1841 and stands 49 metres above sea level with a range of some 37 kilometres.

Tour includes static exhibitions and photographic displays. Tours are running throughout the day Monday to Saturday from 10:00 hours – 16:00 hours. Lower St. Michael’s Cave Tours Lower St. Michael’s Cave was discovered in 1942, accidentally, whilst blasting a second entrance at St Michael’s Cave in order to prepare it for use as an emergency hospital during the Second World War. The cave is totally in its original natural state (although it is fully lit). This cave could be referred to as a show cave as most known formations may be found here. One of the sites visited during this tour is a beautiful underground lake and fortunately for the visitor, who will no doubt not want to forget this wonderful speleological experience, photography is permitted. People are advised to wear stout shoes and casual clothing. Group sizes range from a maximum of twelve and a minimum of seven. Due to the adventurous nature of this tour, children under the age of ten years are not allowed and visitors will need to be reasonably fit as it involves plenty of physical strain. Dolphin Watching Visit the dolphins in their natural environment in the Bay of Gibraltar. Boat tours depart from Marina Bay / Ocean Village. Diving Explore some of the world’s best wreck diving among the most varied marine life of the Mediterranean.

  • The Red Plaques of Gibraltar
    THE RED PLAQUES OF GIBRALTAR This document has been compiled by: Julia Harris Contact on: [email protected] Date completed: May 2014 THANKS TO: - Gail Francis-Tiron for her help when needed - Pepe Rosado for reading this and making his valued comments - Claire Montado for giving me some of the older photos to use - My parents for their gentle ‘reminders’ to get this finished and proof reading! INTRODUCTION: These cast iron red plaques were placed around Gibraltar between 1959 and 1975 in possibly the first attempt to present the rocks history to visitors and residents. They were the work of the Gibraltar Museum Committee which at the time was under the chairmanship of the Hon. Mrs Dorothy Ellicott O.B.E., J.P. (see appendix III). Modern information boards will perhaps replace them (see ‘Future’ section below), but I hope this will not happen. They are their own piece of Gibraltar’s history. When I first noticed and started taking photos of these red plaques I looked for a record of how many there were to find. After speaking to The Heritage Trust and Tourist Board I was told there was not an up to date, completed list. So, here is mine, consisting of 49 plaques, some in situ, some not. There could be more around the rock, or in storage, as there are details of up to 53 in a document attached, dated October 1977, (see Appendix I). From this list there are 43 that I have found and are on mine, another 10 I did not find (some I know have been removed from site with no details of where they are stored) and there are 4 that I found that are not on it.

Its strategic location and prominence have attracted the attention of many civilisations, past and present, giving rise to the rich history and popularity of ‘The Rock’. In addition to its geographical importance, Gibraltar is just as impressive from a naturalist’s perspective. It boasts many terrestrial and marine species, most of which are protected under the Nature Protection Act 1991, Gibraltar’s pioneering nature conservation legislation. Gibraltar’s climate is Mediterranean, with mild, sometimes wet winters and warm, dry summers. Its terrain includes a narrow coastal lowland to the west, bordering the 426 metre high Rock of Gibraltar. With a terrestrial area of 6.53 km2 and territorial waters extending up to three nautical miles to the east and south and up to the median line in the Bay of Gibraltar, it is of no surprise that Gibraltar’s biological resources are inevitably limited.

Commenting on the improvements, The Hon Neil Costa MP, Minister for Tourism, Commercial Affairs, Public Transport and the Port said: "Her Majesty's Government of Gibraltar has, in a relatively short period of time, brought new and much needed improvements to the tourism product.

  • 'Keys' to Understanding Gibraltar
    Volume 1 Issue 4 INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF HUMANITIES AND March 2015 CULTURAL STUDIES ISSN 2356-5926 A Few ‘Keys’ to Understanding Gibraltar Julie Michot Université du Littoral-Côte d’Opale, Boulogne-sur-Mer, France Abstract British Gibraltar, the last colony in Europe, has a population whose cultural identity is uneasy to define: to demonstrate how unique they are, the Gibraltarians wave a flag depicting a coat of arms granted by a Spanish queen. But their land is a bone of contention between London and Madrid. From the outside, the ‘eternal’ dispute is based on the fact that the strait is the key to the Mediterranean; and yet, it is rather a human problem. A few decades ago, Gibraltar was locked from the outside by Spain; nowadays, the traditional ‘Ceremony of the Keys’ gives the impression the inhabitants still feel besieged. The Rock’s fate is thus closely linked to geography and imperialistic pretentions, making it harder for Gibraltarians to be recognized as a genuine people having the right to decide its future. Self-determination is definitely the most precious ‘key’, the one Gibraltarians do not possess yet. Keywords: (straits of) Gibraltar, nationalism, self-determination, decolonization; Spain, UK http://ijhcschiefeditor.wix.com/ijhcs Page 344 Volume 1 Issue 4 INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF HUMANITIES AND March 2015 CULTURAL STUDIES ISSN 2356-5926 Introduction The history of Gibraltar is complex and its sovereignty has been in various hands. Tariq ibn Ziyad is said to have set foot on the Rock the very day he started his conquest of Spain for the Arabs in 711 (but in fact, for practical reasons, he most probably landed in the bay, around the old Roman town of Carteia) (Chichon, [n.
