San Roque, Municipality in Campo de Gibraltar, Spain

San Roque extends across 145 square kilometers of land near the Bay of Gibraltar, featuring varied landscapes at 108 meters above sea level.

The settlement originated on May 21, 1706, when Spanish inhabitants from Gibraltar relocated after the Anglo-Dutch forces took control of the Rock.

The Santa María La Coronada church exhibits Spanish-Tuscan architecture with Baroque elements, standing as a central religious monument in the municipality.

The CEPSA Gibraltar-San Roque Refinery processes 240,000 barrels of crude oil daily, making it the largest refining facility in the Iberian Peninsula.

The municipality carries the motto 'Very Noble and Very Loyal city of San Roque, where Gibraltar lives on' to honor its historical connection.
