Cathedral of St. Mary the Crowned – 2-minute walk

The Cathedral of St. Mary the Crowned is a Roman Catholic Cathedral in Gibraltar, located just around the corner from The Eliott Hotel. It is the primary centre of Catholic Worship in the Diocese of Gibraltar. This cathedral is located on Main Street and is worth looking around inside just to see the wonderful stained glass windows. The cathedral is a peaceful environment, and tourists need to respect this when entering. The cathedral is a place of historical interest with association to the Knights Templar. The Cathedral of St. Mary the Crowned can get very busy in high season.

Moorish Castle – 15-minute walk

Dating back to the 11th century, the ‘Tower of Homage’ is all that remains of the original castle complex. When it was built, the complex stretched all the way down to Casemates Square from the top of the hill. The Moorish Castle Complex is made up of various buildings, gates and fortified walls, but its most dominant features are The Tower of Homage and The Gate House. The Tower of Homage is an impressive sight, clearly visible to all, not only because of its striking construction but because of its dominant and strategic position. The walls of the old castle reached almost to the sea, where even today the Moorish Pier is still visible.
