Gibraltar is an amazing place. Just 7 miles of property, and something for everyone, with most of it steeped in history. The beauty of Gibraltar can’t be denied. Those who visit Gibraltar with a view toward history will also have a plethora of sites that they will want to visit, each offering you a glimpse of the fascinating past of Gibraltar from one century to the next. Gibraltar has been settled and has had times of conflict for more years than many countries have even existed. So many different countries have claimed Gibraltar, each leaving an indelible mark on the area, as well as remnants of their own occupation of Gibraltar. As small as the area of Gibraltar is, it would literally take you a week to see all that you can possibly see of Gibraltar, so you’re quite likely going to have to pick and choose among what interests you the most if your time here is limited. Things you will see: Gibraltar monkey, the Siege Tunnels of Gibraltar, and the St Michael’s Cave & Grotto.
