Gibraltar the Moorish Castle

Gibraltar the Moorish Castle

Gibraltar has been occupied by the Moorish from 711 to 1309 and again from 1350 to 1462 and this castle is an excellent example of Islamic architecture of this period. It is a complex made up of various buildings, gates, fortified walls and most famously 'The Tower of Homage' and 'The Gate House'.

It is an impressive sight, not only because of its fabulous construction but also because of its dominant and strategic position. The Gibraltar Heritage Trust is now trying to protect and restore it to its original style and design.
