The inlet to the Strait of Gibraltar is formed geologically by the Europa Point; located at the southernmost tip of Gibraltar, and the Jbel Musa; a small peninsula located at the northwestern tip of Morocco. Europa Point has ushered in mariners sailing in from the Mediterranean Sea for thousands of years, dating all the way back to ancient Greek and Phoenician times. The Rock of Gibraltar once served as a massive beacon, guiding ships towards the peninsula, which housed legendary marine caverns and platforms. In 1841, the Gibraltar Trinity Lighthouse was constructed, standing 49 meters above sea level. Today, the lighthouse operates on a fully automated system.
