The Mount, Naval residence in Gibraltar, United Kingdom
The Mount stands as a Georgian architectural structure with symmetrical design features and proportioned windows characteristic of late 18th-century British colonial buildings.
Built in 1797, The Mount served as the official residence for the senior Royal Navy officer in Gibraltar for more than two centuries.
The Mount has hosted numerous naval commanders who shaped military strategies and diplomatic relations between Britain and Mediterranean nations.
