Initially settled by the Moors during the Middle Ages and later governed by Spain, the territory was ceded to Britain in 1713.

- 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.

- Pillars of Hercules - According to Greek mythology, Hercules had to complete twelve tasks. One of these tasks was to bring the cattle of Geryon from the west to Eurytheus. On 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, with the Rock of Gibraltar on the northern side and Jebel Musa in Ceuta on the southern side.
- St. Michael’s Cave - Of the over 150 caves discovered in the Rock of Gibraltar, this 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 improve ventilation, as it was intended to be used as an emergency hospital. During this process, a deeper system of caves was discovered, now known as Lower St. Michael’s Cave.

Legend has it that in 1942, the ape population dwindled to just 7, prompting British Prime Minister Sir Winston Churchill to order their immediate replenishment, as long as Barbary Macaques remain on the Rock of Gibraltar, it will stay under 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 1779-1783 to defend Gibraltar against Spanish and French forces attempting to recapture it from the British. During tunneling, a horizontal hole was blasted in the rock face to improve ventilation for the workers. Upon closer inspection, it was realized that a gun could be installed to target attacking forces.
