Gibraltar

Gibraltar is a British Overseas Territory and headland, on Spain's south coast. It’s dominated by the Rock of Gibraltar, a 426m-high limestone ridge. First settled by the Moors in the middle Ages and later ruled by Spain, the outpost was ceded to the British in 1713. Layers of fortifications include the remains of a 14th-century Moorish Castle and the 18th century Great Siege Tunnels, which were expanded in WWII

Trafalgar Cemetery (Pass By)

The Trafalgar Cemetery is a cemetery in the British Overseas Territory of Gibraltar. Formerly known as the Southport Ditch Cemetery, it occupies a small area of land just to the south of the city walls, in what had been a defensive ditch during the period of Spanish rule of Gibraltar.

Gibraltar Botanic Gardens (The Alameda) (Pass By)

The Gibraltar Botanic Gardens or La Alameda Gardens are a botanical garden in Gibraltar, spanning around 6 hectares (15 acres) In 1816 the gardens were commissioned by the British Governor of Gibraltar General George Don. It was his intention that the soldiers stationed in the fortress would have a pleasant recreational area to enjoy when off duty, and so inhabitants could enjoy the air protected from the extreme heat of the sun.

100 Ton Gun Napier of Magdala Battery

The 100 Ton Gun actually weighs just over 100 Tons and is one of only two to still be around in the world today. Out of the four that were built in 1870, two of these giant guns were built for the defence of Gibraltar while the other two were built for Malta. The 100 Ton Gun now resides at Napier of Magdala Battery in Gibraltar. The gun itself has a 32 feet long barrel and can fire a 2,000 pound shell that can reach a distance of 8 miles at a speed of 1,500 feet per second. This gave the gun the ability to penetrate just over 2 feet of iron.

Of over the 150 caves that have been discovered in the Rock of Gibraltar this is the most visited with over one million visitors per year. The cave is situated at over 300 metres above sea level. In 1942 during the second world war blasting was in process inside this cave in order to allow for more ventilation. The cave was to be used as an emergency hospital.

The Great Siege Tunnels

These tunnels are one of the main attractions of the Rock of Gibraltar. The tunnels were carved out of the rock by hand during the Great Siege which took place between 1779-1783. This was done in order to defend Gibraltar against the Spanish and French forces who were trying to recapture Gibraltar from the British. Whilst tunnelling it was decided that a horizontal hole be blasted in the rock face in order to improve ventilation for the workmen. On closer examination it was realised that a gun could be put in place to bear down on attacking forces.

Barbary macaque feeding station

This Stop is at the top of the Rock where you will see breathtaking views all around Gibraltar. Here we will have an interaction with our famous Monkeys at Upper Apes Den (The same height level as the cable) The Barbary Macaque Apes are the only ones to be found within the continent of Europe. They reside at the upper rock nature reserve of Gibraltar. At present there are over 200 apes in 9 packs that roam through the upper rock. Legend has it that in 1942 the population of apes fell to just 7 and the Prime Minister of Great Britain (Sir Winston Churchill) ordered that the population of the apes be immediately replenished because as long as there are Barbary Macaques Apes on the Rock of Gibraltar it will remain under British rule.

The Moorish Castle Complex (The Tower of Homage and The Gate House)

The Moorish Castle is situated at the northern end of the upper rock nature reserve. The construction of this Castle commenced in the 8th century AD but no known date of completion is recorded. The Castle was rebuilt in the 14th century after its near destruction during a re-conquest of Gibraltar by the Moors. The Castle itself is made up of various buildings, gates and fortified walls that stretch out from the upper rock down to the sea, The Tower of Homage and The Gate House being its most dominant features.
