The first of our Gibraltar attractions is Casemates Square, named after the British Barracks located at the north of the square; throughout history, this area has served many purposes. Formerly the site of public executions, the commercial and social square contains remains of an old Moorish galley house and a gun mounted on a Koehler Depression Gun Carriage, of the type developed during the Great Siege.
