Gibraltar Cable Car, Aerial tramway at Signal Hill Battery, Gibraltar.

The Gibraltar Cable Car connects the base station near Main Street to the Rock summit through two passenger cabins traveling along steel cables.

Swiss company Von Roll Holding constructed the cable car system in 1966, with the base and summit stations designed by architect Brian Helliwell.

The upper station features the Calpe Suite, which serves as a registered venue for wedding ceremonies with views over the Mediterranean Sea.

The six-minute journey covers 673 meters of distance, accommodating up to 30 passengers per cabin at a speed of 5 meters per second.

The cable car passes near the Ape's Den, where visitors can observe the European continent's only population of wild Barbary macaques.
