Europa Point & Trinity Lighthouse
Europa Point
One of the southernmost headlands on the European mainland, with red-and-white lighthouses facing Africa, next to the Great Mosque and the Our Lady of Europe Shrine.
At the southern tip of the Gibraltar peninsula, the Trinity Lighthouse, built in 1841, is still in use. It faces the Strait of Gibraltar, and on clear days you can see the mountains of Morocco across the water. The Europa Point square has Harris Battery, the Sikorski Memorial and an open-air leisure area. Nearby are the Ibrahim al-Ibrahim Mosque and the Our Lady of Europe Shrine. You can reach it directly from the city center by Bus 2. The ride is free, and the sunset from here is beautiful in the evening.
