Irish Town, Gibraltar, Historic footpath in central Gibraltar, United Kingdom
Irish Town extends from Cooperage Lane to John Mackintosh Square, running parallel to Main Street as a pedestrian thoroughfare in Gibraltar.
The street's original name, Calle de Santa Ana, came from a hermitage at Market Lane intersection before Mercedarian Fathers established their monastery in 1581.
The name Irish Town emerged in the early 19th century during Gibraltar's quarter division, reflecting the presence of an Irish military regiment in the area.
The Royal Gibraltar Police operates from the Central Police Station, located at the southern end of Irish Town since its construction in 1864.
During the Great Siege of Gibraltar from 1779 to 1783, the original monastery was destroyed, leaving only columns at Trafalgar House entrance.
