The Moorish Castle & Tower of Homage is one of the most marvelous attractions in Gibraltar. Remarkable views of the strait and African coastline can be seen from its position on the hillside. The Tower of Homage, the castle’s most prominent feature, looks down upon Gibraltar. Fortifications built around the castle were first built circa 1160 and remained intact after the Spanish reconquered the city in 1333. In fact, control of the castle has changed hands several times during the course of history, following several bloody battles and sieges. In the 1500s, the castle provided protection to hundreds of townsmen who retreated to the safety of its gates, while Turkish pirates ransacked Gibraltar.
