Political Overview

The City of Gibraltar serves as the capital of this British Overseas Territory, governed under a parliamentary system with a locally elected House of Assembly and a Governor appointed by the United Kingdom. Gibraltar’s political landscape has long been shaped by its strategic position at the entrance to the Mediterranean Sea, and it remains at the center of sovereignty discussions between the UK and Spain. Tourism-wise, the Upper Rock Nature Reserve once a military site has been repurposed for visitors, blending both heritage and leisure. Globally, Gibraltar is recognized for its unique status as a self-governing territory under British sovereignty and for its pivotal role in maritime history.

Cultural Heritage and Identity

Gibraltar City, as the capital, is a vibrant hub where British, Spanish, Genoese, Maltese, and Jewish heritages intersect, reflected in its architecture, cuisine, and languages (English, Llanito, and Castilian). Main Street’s historic facades and the 14th‑century Moorish Castle draw cultural tourists, while events like the Gibraltar Music Festival highlight the territory’s dynamic identity. One of the most celebrated attractions is the colony of Barbary macaques inhabiting the Rock, the only wild monkey population in Europe, which has become an emblem of Gibraltar on postcards and documentaries worldwide.

Geographical Landscape, Area, and Climate

Covering just 6.7 square kilometers, Gibraltar’s most striking feature is the 426‑meter‑high Rock, overlooking the Strait of Gibraltar. The territory enjoys a Mediterranean climate, with hot, dry summers ideal for sun‑seekers on Catalan Bay Beach and mild, wet winters that bring lush greenery to the nature reserve. Europa Point at the Rock’s southern tip offers panoramic views and hosts the historic Trinity Lighthouse, a key tourist area. Internationally, Gibraltar is best known for this iconic limestone promontory often simply called “the Rock” and for the dramatic confluence of European and African influences that can be admired from its peaks.
