Prince Edward's Gate, City gate at Charles V Wall, Gibraltar
Prince Edward's Gate cuts through the Charles V Wall, providing an entrance to Prince Edward's Road with two adjacent guard houses and a stone archway.
The gate opened in 1790 during Prince Edward's command of the 7th Regiment of Foot, later becoming a key component of Gibraltar's southern defensive structures.
A military inscription once decorated the sentry box, reflecting the relationship between soldiers and society through poetic verses about wartime appreciation.
The gate maintains its function as a passage through the Charles V Wall, allowing both vehicles and pedestrians to access different sections of Gibraltar.
The structure overlooks two historical burial grounds: Trafalgar Cemetery to the southwest and the former St. Jago's Cemetery to the northwest.
