Tower of Homage
Start your walking tour of Gibraltar’s architectural gems with its Moorish citadel, the most visibly arresting feature of which is its forbidding Tower of Homage. This is the highest tower that remains from Spain’s time under Arabic dominion. Though there has been a fortress on this site since the 8th century, much of what we see today – including the tower – dates from Gibraltar’s second Moorish period (1350 to 1462) as it sustained extensive damage during the Moors’ re-capturing of the territory.
