Gibraltar

Gibraltar sits at the foot of the Rock of Gibraltar on the Bay of Gibraltar, where the Mediterranean meets the Atlantic through the Strait of Gibraltar. Rising to 426 metres, the limestone promontory dominates this narrow maritime passage and forms much of the Gibraltar Nature Reserve, home to Barbary macaques. The Moorish Castle and its Tower of Homage recall centuries of Islamic rule before Gibraltar was ceded to Britain under the Treaty of Utrecht in 1713. Its compact streets blend British institutions with Andalusian and Mediterranean influences, while the port remains central to local life.
