Trafalgar Cemetery
A small cemetery outside South Gate where British sailors who died of wounds from the Battle of Trafalgar are buried.
In 1805, Nelson led the British fleet to victory over the combined French and Spanish fleet at Cape Trafalgar. Some of the wounded and dead were brought back to Gibraltar and buried here. The cemetery is small, most of its headstones date from the early 19th century, and the setting is quiet. Right beside it is the 16th-century wall built under Charles V. It sits at the southern end of Main Street, outside South Gate, close to the cable car lower station and the botanic gardens, so it can easily be visited on the way. Admission is free.
