Gorham's Cave Complex
A UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the last refuges of the Neanderthals, where abstract rock engravings were found.
Inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 2016, Gorham's Cave Complex consists of four sea caves beneath the southeastern cliffs of the Rock. Archaeological finds show that Neanderthals lived here for over 100,000 years, and they left behind abstract rock engravings believed to be their work. The caves can only be entered on small guided tours organised by the Gibraltar National Museum. Tours must be booked in advance and include a boat or walking section. Alternatively, you can see the site from a viewpoint near Europa Point.
