Gibraltar

Gibraltar has served as a British military outpost between Europe and Africa since the early 18th century. The limestone Rock of Gibraltar rises above the Strait of Gibraltar, the narrow waterway linking the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea. Its Upper Rock Nature Reserve is known for Barbary macaques, Europe’s only free-ranging monkey population, and for St Michael’s Cave, whose chambers host concerts and events. British institutions coexist with strong Andalusian influences, while English is the official language and Spanish is widely spoken. The Great Siege of the late 18th century remains a defining chapter in Gibraltar’s identity. Discover other points of interest through webcams located across Gibraltar.
