It rises 426 meters (1,398 feet) above sea level and is a prominent landmark that can be seen from various points across the Mediterranean Sea.

Gibraltar is home to a unique ecosystem, including the Barbary macaque, the only wild monkey population in Europe. The rock features numerous caves and tunnels, some of which were used during military operations throughout history. Its strategic location has made it an important naval base and it has been a point of contention between various nations over centuries.
Visitors can explore a range of attractions on the Rock, including the impressive St. Michael's Cave, which is adorned with stunning stalactites and stalagmites. The views from the summit provide breathtaking panoramas of the surrounding area, including the coastline of North Africa. The Rock of Gibraltar is not only a geographical marvel but also a site rich in history and cultural significance.
