The City of Gibraltar, capital of the British Overseas Territory of Gibraltar, is strategically located on the southern tip of the Iberian Peninsula, at the crossroads of the Strait of Gibraltar between the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean. This city of 6.8 square kilometers is a blend of diverse cultures: British colonial history has left behind Victorian architecture, Spanish traditions are intertwined with North African flavors, and beige flags and graffiti can be seen in the streets. The landmark "Rock of Gibraltar" overlooks the city and is symbolized by the unique tailed macaques that inhabit its summit. As a free port, Gibraltar is renowned for its duty-free shopping and financial services, while retaining a strong military fortress atmosphere, with ancient walls and fortresses that tell the story of the city's history over the centuries. With English as the official language and a currency equal to the pound sterling, Gibraltar is an important hub connecting Europe, Africa and the Americas.
