The Rock of Gibraltar, as seen from the marina. The Rock contains a series of man-made tunnels used during the Great Siege of Gibraltar between 1779-1783, and also in World War II.
To reach Gibraltar by land, cross the Spanish border (seen here), cut across the airport landing strip and head down Winston Churchill Avenue

A cannon on display at Casemates Square, a remnant of the Great Siege of Gibraltar between the British and Spanish. Originally the cannon would have been positioned on the Rock.
