Europa Point, Gibraltar

Europa Point is Gibraltar's southernmost point (the southernmost point of the Iberian Peninsula being Punta de Tarifa 25 km southwest of Gibraltar). Europa Point, at the southernmost tip of the peninsula, is at the doorway between the Mediterranean and the Atlantic, offering a glimpse of Africa on a clear day.

Apart from the scenic views of Moroccan mountains and Spanish coastal towns, the Harding's Battery, the Ibrahim-al-Ibrahim Mosque, the Roman Catholic Shrine of Our Lady of Europe, the Europa Point Lighthouse, and the Nun's Well are all noteworthy structures in this area. Europa Point is also home to Gibraltar's only dedicated cricket oval, where the Gibraltar national cricket team competes, and the Sikorski Memorial, which has been in place since 2013.

Governor Sir Alexander Woodford built the Europa Point Lighthouse between 1838 and 1841. In February 1994, it became fully automated, and its loom can be seen from a distance of 27 kilometers (17 mi). It is Trinity House's southernmost lighthouse, as well as the only one outside the United Kingdom.

The King Fahd bin Abdulaziz al-Saud Mosque, commonly known as the Mosque of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, is a mosque in Europa Point. The structure was a gift from Saudi Arabia's King Fahd and took two years to construct at a cost of roughly £5 million. It was opened to the public on August 8, 1997. A school, library, and lecture hall are all part of the mosque complex. It is Gibraltar's only purpose-built mosque, serving the territory's Muslim population of over 1,000 people.

And there is much more to be discovered in this Europa Point. Enrich your experience by coming here and asking the locals about the places, you will surely learn a lot of new things.
