Cathedral of St Mary the Crowned
A Catholic cathedral on Main Street, rebuilt on the site of a former Moorish grand mosque, with remains of its Moorish courtyard preserved.
After Christians recaptured Gibraltar in 1462, a church was built on the site of the old grand mosque. It was damaged during the Great Siege and later rebuilt in the Spanish Gothic style, with its façade facing Main Street. The interior is simple, while the courtyard still shows traces of Moorish-era architecture. Located in the middle of Main Street, it's an easy detour while shopping. Admission is free, but please keep quiet during Mass.
