Moorish Castle

WHF External Agency department

The Moorish Castle in Gibraltar, built during the Islamic conquest of Spain in 711 AD, is a symbol of the region’s rich history. Its most prominent feature is the Tower of Homage, a key example of Moorish military architecture. Over the centuries, the castle was rebuilt by the Marinid dynasty and later incorporated into British fortifications. Today, it stands as a reminder of Gibraltar’s unique heritage, reflecting its blend of Moorish, Spanish, and British influences.
