Gibraltar is a rocky peninsula attached to the southern coast of [[Spain]] which was ceded by Spain to [[Great Britain]] by the [[Treaty of Utrecht]] in 1713. Since then it has provided Britain with an important naval and military base controlling the western entrance to the [[Mediterranean Sea]] through the [[Strait of Gibraltar]].

 

Gibraltar is dominated by the huge [[Rock of Gibraltar]], which is honeycombed with bombproof tunnels; the rock is inhabited by the famous Barbary Apes. It is believed that Britain will hold Gibraltar as long as the apes roam the rock.
