The Moorish Castle - Tower of Homage - Side View
   For over six centuries people approaching Gibraltar from the mainland have been impressed with the sight of a great squared tower right up in the hillside. This tower is the only Tower Of Homage of the ancient Moorish Castle, which at one time dominated the surrounding area. The walls of the old castle enclosed a considerable area, reaching almost to the sea.
Today it lies over 650 years old , still scared with cannon ball hits, flying the Union Jack.
