What is Gibraltar famous for?
Short answer
Gibraltar is most famous for its Rock, followed closely by the presence of the Barbary Macaques on it.
Detailed answer
Gibraltar’s strategic location at the gates to the Mediterranean, as one of the pillars of Hercules, means that Gibraltar’s history is full of fantastic stories of conflict, of siege, of displacement of families and their separation during times of heightened difficulties with our neighbours to the North. It’s not just the limestone that is ‘strong as the Rock of Gibraltar’ - its people, through the ages, have weathered many storms and Gibraltar is today a cherished, successful and prosperous territory that is forging a new chapter of its history as the historic ‘Deal’ is done on its future relationship with the EU.
