Gibraltar: City Under Seige exhibition works completed

One of the most striking features is the graffiti on the exterior walls of the central courtyard, mostly from the 1730s-1760s, a time when the garrison saw no military action and Gibraltar became a relatively easy posting for regiments serving overseas.

Eleven new interpretation panels now portray how the people coped during a time of immense stress and offer insights into how the first British settlers of Gibraltar managed, living in a Mediterranean fortress.

The mannequins in period clothing have been restored and enhanced, and a replica period cannon and ancillary military objects have also been placed on site in order to improve the experience for visitors.
