Bay of Gibraltar Unmissables

The Bay of Gibraltar features a dense concentration of military engineering and maritime landmarks. This selection spans centuries of history, from the 14th-century Moorish Castle and Victorian-era 100 Ton Gun to the extensive 30-mile network of World War II tunnels. Modern infrastructure like the Gibraltar International Airport—noted for its runway intersecting a public road—sits alongside the scenic Europa Point lighthouse and the Cable Car, which provides access to the Rock's upper heights.
