About this eBook
Gibraltar is a British Overseas Territory located at the southern tip of the Iberian Peninsula, serving as a gateway between Europe and Africa. It has a total area of 6.7 km², making it one of the smallest territories in the world. With a population of approximately 34,000, Gibraltar is a densely populated region with a culturally diverse community comprising British, Spanish, and North African individuals. It is known for its strategic location and imposing Rock of Gibraltar, a limestone massif rising 426 meters above sea level. Gibraltar's unique position has played an important role in its history, with evidence of human habitation dating back to the Neanderthal era. The British seized control of the territory in 1704 during the War of the Spanish Succession and has occupied it ever since, despite numerous attempts by Spain to reclaim the territory. Today, Gibraltar is an important center for tourism, finance, and shipping commerce. It has a vibrant economy and maintains strong cultural ties to its neighboring Spanish cities of Algeciras and La Linea.
