Macaques on the rock of Gibraltar

From the legendary Barbary Macaque population to natural underground grottoes, Gibraltar has landmark attractions for everyone.


Barbary Macaques

One of Gibraltar’s most important tourist attractions and international symbols, the legendary Barbary Macaques are the only wild monkey population in the whole of Europe. Visitors are invited to take photographs, but as they are wild animals, keep a safe distance, refrain from shouting or making sudden movements, and allow these tailless monkeys to live a natural, free life. 


St. Michael’s Cave

The Barbary Macaques are said to have originally come to Gibraltar through this awe-inspiring subterranean passage. The beautiful natural grotto was originally prepared as a hospital during World War II and has been in use as a theatre since the early 1960s with capacity for 600 people, making a unique auditorium for concerts, ballets, and dramas.
