Gibraltar has served as a strategic British outpost at the entrance to the Mediterranean since the early 18th century. Dominated by the limestone Rock of Gibraltar, this compact British Overseas Territory stands beside the Strait of Gibraltar, where the Atlantic meets the Mediterranean and Africa lies across the water. Its streets combine English-language institutions with Andalusian and Mediterranean influences, while Main Street, the Moorish Castle and St Michael’s Cave reveal distinct layers of its past. The Gibraltar Nature Reserve protects much of the Rock and is known for its Barbary macaques.
