Grand Casemates Square, Central plaza in Gibraltar, United Kingdom

The main square features stone buildings with archways, shops, and restaurants, creating a central gathering space at the entrance of Main Street.

Originally constructed in 1817 as part of British military fortifications, this location served as a defensive position and parade ground for stationed troops.

The square transforms into a central celebration point during Gibraltar National Day, filling with red and white decorations and traditional music performances.

Located near the airport and Spanish border, the square provides numerous dining options, retail stores, and serves as a starting point for city tours.

Built on what was once a beach where Moorish galleys landed in 1160, the ground beneath the square consists entirely of sand.
