• Pillars of Hercules - In Greek mythology, Hercules was tasked with twelve labors, one of which involved bringing the cattle of Geryon from the west to Eurytheus. During this journey, Hercules had to traverse the Atlas Mountains. Instead of climbing over them, he used his immense strength to break through, thereby connecting the Mediterranean Sea with the Atlantic Ocean. This feat resulted in what is now known as The Pillars of Hercules, comprising the Rock of Gibraltar to the north and Jebel Musa in Ceuta to the south.
• St. Michael’s Cave - Among the more than 150 caves discovered in the Rock of Gibraltar, St. Michael’s Cave is the most frequented, attracting over a million visitors annually. Located over 300 meters above sea level, the cave was being blasted for better ventilation during World War II in 1942, intended to serve as an emergency hospital. This blasting led to the discovery of a deeper cave system now known as Lower St. Michael’s Cave.
• O’Hara’s Battery - Situated at the highest point of the Rock of Gibraltar at 1383 feet, near the southern end of the Upper Rock Nature Reserve, O’Hara’s Battery is an artillery battery in the British Overseas Territory of Gibraltar. Built in 1890 on the site of a former watchtower known as O’Hara’s Folly, it is close to Lord Airey’s Battery.
• Barbary macaque feeding station - At the Top of the Rock, you can enjoy stunning views of Gibraltar and interact with the famous Barbary Macaques at Upper Apes Den, located at the same height as the cable car. These macaques are the only ones found in Europe and reside in the Upper Rock Nature Reserve. Currently, there are over 200 macaques in nine groups roaming the area. Legend has it that in 1942, when their population dwindled to just seven, British Prime Minister Sir Winston Churchill ordered their numbers to be replenished, believing that as long as Barbary Macaques lived on the Rock of Gibraltar, it would remain under British rule.
• The Great Siege Tunnels - Carved by hand during the Great Siege from 1779 to 1783, these tunnels are a major attraction in Gibraltar. They were created to defend against Spanish and French forces attempting to recapture Gibraltar from the British. During the tunneling, a horizontal hole was blasted to improve ventilation, which later was found suitable for placing a gun to target attacking forces.
• Gibraltar: A City Under Siege Exhibition - Housed in some of the earliest buildings constructed by the British in Gibraltar, dating back to the early 18th century, this exhibition showcases the city’s history under siege.
• Willis’s Road - In anticipation of an imminent attack on Gibraltar, Winston Churchill and British military leaders constructed an extensive network of tunnels, creating a fortress within a fortress, or a city within a city.
• The Moorish Castle Complex (The Tower of Homage and The Gate House) - Located at the northern end of the Upper Rock Nature Reserve, the Moorish Castle’s construction began in the 8th century AD, with no recorded completion date. Rebuilt in the 14th century after near destruction during a re-conquest by the Moors, the castle comprises various buildings, gates, and fortified walls extending from the Upper Rock to the sea, with the Tower of Homage and the Gate House being its most prominent features.
• Main Street - Depending on the time spent at the Upper Rock Nature Reserve sites, you will have 1 to 1.5 hours to explore Main Street. Here, you can have lunch, wander through the charming old town’s narrow streets, or shop in the Main Street area.
• 100 Ton Gun Napier of Magdala Battery - Weighing just over 100 tons, this gun is one of only two remaining in the world today. Of the four built in 1870, two were for Gibraltar’s defense and two for Malta. Now located at Napier of Magdala Battery in Gibraltar, the gun has a 32-foot-long barrel and can fire a 2,000-pound shell up to 8 miles at 1,500 feet per second, capable of penetrating over 2 feet of iron.
• Europa Point - At the southernmost point of Gibraltar, Europa Point offers spectacular views across the Straits of Gibraltar to North Africa, Morocco, and Spanish Ceuta, as well as across the Bay of Gibraltar. The Europa Point Lighthouse, built between 1838 and 1841 and fully automated in 1994, can be seen from over 27 kilometers (17 miles) away. The site also features the Shrine of Our Lady of Europa and The Nuns Well, an ancient underground reservoir.
• Catalan Bay - Known in Spanish as ‘La Caleta,’ Catalan Bay is a small bay and fishing village on the eastern side of the Rock, away from the main city. The origin of its name is unclear, but one theory suggests it was named after around 350 Catalan soldiers who settled there after helping Anglo-Dutch forces capture Gibraltar during the War of Spanish Succession on August 4, 1704.
