History
History & identity
From Phoenicians and Moors to the Great Siege and today's Gibraltar.
How to choose
- The chapters follow the Rock in order: prehistory and the Moorish centuries, Gibraltar within Al-Andalus, the Great Siege, the British garrison town, the Second World War tunnels and Gibraltar today.
- Visiting the Moorish Castle or the tunnels? Read the matching chapter first — it explains what the signs on site assume you already know.
- Short on time? 'Gibraltar today' and 'British Gibraltar' explain most of what you will see on Main Street and at the border.
- Each chapter links to the places, routes and audio guides where that history is still visible.
