As the refurbishment of the tunnel complex is nearing completion, acclaimed artist Jessica Darch has created a huge mural celebrating Gibraltar's rich military heritage and natural history.
The mural, which spans the 8x5-metre wall at the entrance to Hay's Level, incorporates one of Gibraltar's national flowers, the campion, alongside a collection of migrating birds of prey. It also includes the Latin motto Montis Insignia Calpe (Insignia of the Mountain of Calpe); Mons Calpe was the Latin name of the Rock of Gibraltar.
