Gibraltar’s Grand Casemates Square once rang to the clash of swords and the marching of boots. The city walls were built by the British armed forces over two hundred years ago to defend this strategic city from the constant threat of invasion. On the seaward side of the wall there was once a narrow beach, the waters lapping almost at the footings, the embrasures built into the walls bristling with artillery, the threat of enemy ships looming always on the horizon.
Carved deep into these formidable defences at the very opening of the gates to the City of Gibraltar, Gauchos Restaurant welcomes visitors from all over the world. These days, Gibraltar’s thousands of guests arrive a little further out from the original coastline at a world-class cruise terminal on Gibraltar’s North Mole, or through the land frontier with Spain a kilometre or so to the north, and at the Gibraltar International Airport, also only a short drive away.
Even today, walking from the port along Devil’s Tongue towards the City, through the openings in the city walls into Grand Casemates Square and under the imposing archways, inspires a degree of awe. Many of Gauchos’ diners will pause as they enter the restaurant and gaze upwards in wonder towards the iconic Upper Rock and the imposing Tower of Homage of Moorish Castle.
For centuries Gibraltar had experienced siege after siege, in particular once the British had taken control of the city and its waters. The British strengthened Gibraltar’s fortifications and constructed a system of counterguards to create a series of defences from invasion by sea. The curtain walls connecting those counterguards helped to protect a number of nearby bastions: North, Montagu and Orange bastions.
