Grand Casemates Square
A large square at the northern entrance of the old town, once an execution ground and barracks site, now surrounded by outdoor bars and restaurants.
Gibraltar's largest square sits beside the land entrance and the bus hub. It was once a site of public executions, and the surrounding Casemates barracks have been converted into shops and restaurants. The square is lively all day and marks the start of the walk along Main Street. It often hosts festivals and National Day celebrations. Those entering on foot from Spain can reach it in about 15 minutes after crossing the border. Nearby are the Gibraltar National Museum and the trail to the Moorish Castle.
