    Pillars of Hercules

    According to Greek mythology Hercules had to take on 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. Rather than climbing over these mountains, he used his great strength to smash through them and as a result, he brought the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean together. After he had achieved this task, the result was what is now known as The Pillars of Hercules. This became the Rock of Gibraltar on the northern side and Jebel Musa in Ceuta on the southern side.

    St. Michael's Cave

    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. During the blasting, a discovery was made of a deeper system of caves which is now known as Lower St. Michael’s Cave.

    Barbary macaque feeding station

    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 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.

    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.

    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.

    Catalan Bay

    Catalan Bay, known in Spanish as ‘La Caleta’, is a small bay and fishing village in Gibraltar on the eastern side of the Rock away from the main city. The true origin of the name of Catalan Bay is unknown, but a couple of theories exist: the first suggests that the bay is named after a group of around 350 Catalan (from Catalonia) military men believed to have settled here after having assisted the Anglo-Dutch forces who captured Gibraltar during the War of Spanish Succession on 4th August 1704.
