THE MOORISH CASTLE
Click pictures to enlarge
| 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. |
