Vegetation cleared from Moorish Castle Gatehouse

Vegetation has been cleared from the Moorish Castle Gatehouse – with the Government saying this allows the architectural features that had been obscured to once again be appreciated.

It says the clearance forms part of the Ministry of Heritage’s ongoing programme of preventative conservation and maintenance across Gibraltar’s historical monuments and heritage assets.

It adds this complements the works already carried out at the Tower of Homage and the Inner Keep, to improve the condition, presentation and accessibility of one of Gibraltar’s most important sites.

Minister for Heritage, John Cortes, said, “By investing in our built heritage, we help ensure that these remarkable monuments can be enjoyed by future generations while continuing to tell Gibraltar's unique story.”
