- Gibraltar - Gibraltar is a British Overseas Territory and promontory located on the southern coast of Spain. It is renowned for the Rock of Gibraltar, a 426-meter-high limestone ridge. Initially settled by the Moors during the Middle Ages and later governed by Spain, the territory was ceded to Britain in 1713. The area features layers of fortifications, including remnants of a 14th-century Moorish Castle and the 18th-century Great Siege Tunnels, which were expanded during World War II.
- The Rock of Gibraltar - The Rock of Gibraltar is a monolithic limestone promontory situated in the British territory of Gibraltar, near the southwestern tip of Europe on the Iberian Peninsula. Standing at 426 meters high, the upper area of the Rock is largely covered by a nature reserve, home to approximately 300 Barbary macaques.
- Gibraltar Town - Gibraltar is a British Overseas Territory and promontory on Spain’s southern coast. It is dominated by the Rock of Gibraltar, a 426-meter-high limestone ridge. Initially settled by the Moors in the Middle Ages and later ruled by Spain, the territory was ceded to Britain in 1713. The area boasts layers of fortifications, including the remains of a 14th-century Moorish Castle and the 18th-century Great Siege Tunnels, which were expanded during World War II.
- Pillars of Hercules - According to Greek mythology, Hercules was tasked with twelve labors, one of which was to bring the cattle of Geryon from the west to Eurytheus. During his journey, Hercules had to cross the Atlas Mountains. Instead of climbing over them, he used his immense strength to break through, thereby connecting the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean. This feat resulted in what is now known as The Pillars of Hercules, comprising the Rock of Gibraltar on the northern side and Jebel Musa in Ceuta on the southern side.
- St. Michael’s Cave - Among the over 150 caves discovered in the Rock of Gibraltar, St. Michael’s Cave is the most visited, attracting over one million visitors annually. The cave is located more than 300 meters above sea level. In 1942, during World War II, blasting was conducted inside the cave to enhance ventilation, as it was intended to serve as an emergency hospital. During this process, a deeper cave system was discovered, now known as Lower St. Michael’s Cave.
- Skywalk - The Skywalk is a former military lookout that has been transformed into a state-of-the-art glass platform and walkway, offering spectacular views across the Mediterranean. It provides an uninterrupted 360º panoramic viewpoint. Visitors can enter the 360º environment to experience the freedom and exhilaration offered by The Skywalk.
- Barbary macaque feeding station - At the top of the Rock, visitors can enjoy breathtaking views of Gibraltar and interact with the famous monkeys at Upper Apes Den, located at the same height as the cable car. The Barbary Macaque Apes are the only ones found within Europe, residing in the upper rock nature reserve of Gibraltar. Currently, there are over 200 apes in nine packs roaming the upper rock. Legend has it that in 1942, the ape population dwindled to just seven, prompting the British Prime Minister, Sir Winston Churchill, to order their immediate replenishment, as the presence of Barbary Macaques on the Rock of Gibraltar is believed to ensure British rule.
- The Great Siege Tunnels - These tunnels are a major attraction of the Rock of Gibraltar. They were manually carved out of the rock during the Great Siege from 1779 to 1783 to defend Gibraltar against Spanish and French forces attempting to reclaim it from the British. During the tunneling, a horizontal hole was blasted in the rock face to improve ventilation for the workers. Upon further inspection, it was realized that a gun could be installed to target attacking forces.
- Willis’s Road - Winston Churchill and British military leaders anticipated an imminent attack on Gibraltar, leading to the construction of an extensive network of tunnels, creating a fortress within a fortress, a city within a city.
