Prince Ferdinand's Battery

Reviewed By DuckysWife

Aka the Apes Den where the macaques are fed. Incredible views from here of Western side of Gibraltar, Spain and Morocco in the distance. Amusing to watch the monkeys play chase and nearly fall off the railings, amazing balancing skills and grip. Taxi drivers stop here as part of the very popular rock tours based at Casements Square. The first time we visited we walked past without stopping as no 'Apes Den' signs, no apes and no taxis at the time. So the next time we took a guided taxi tour. I was very relieved to see that the fruit is left under shade for the monkeys.

Highest point you can get to by tour van and you can see Africa and Spain. Views were incredible! There was also a monkey feeding station.

Gibraltar: A City Under Siege Exhibition

Reviewed By pparrothead - Wilmington, United States

We recently spent the day on the Rock of Gibraltar and tried to see as much as we could of the Amazing Place. There are so many things to see and do on "The Rock" that you really could spend a few days here to take it all in.. One of the places we visited on "The Rock" was Gibraltar: A City Under Siege Exhibition. It was a well done depiction of life on Gibraltar during its turbulent times. The mannequins were so life like and dressed in period costumes. The neat thing was the graffiti that is carved into the walls by British soldiers...Some dating back to 1726.... The City Under Siege Exhibition is definitely worth a short visit....
