City Under Siege Exhibition
Housed in some of the first British buildings on the Rock, with the graffiti to prove it.
An exhibition on what the Great Siege was like for the civilians and soldiers stuck inside it, set in a group of buildings that are among the earliest British construction in Gibraltar.
The detail that stays with people is the graffiti — names and dates scratched into the walls by 18th-century soldiers, still legible.
Where this rating comes from
This is the rating for the ticket, not for this site on its own.
City Under Siege Exhibition is not sold or reviewed separately anywhere we can licence, so it carries no score of its own — and we would rather show you nothing than invent one. What we can tell you is how people rate the ticket that admits you to it, which is the thing you actually buy.
