St Michaels Cave at Gibraltar ²

St. Michael’s Cave, located in Gibraltar, is a network of limestone caves with a rich history and significant tourist appeal. The cave system formed naturally over millennia and has been known to humans since prehistoric times. It has served various purposes throughout history, from a shelter for troops to a venue for social gatherings. During World War II, it was even prepared as a military hospital, although never used for that purpose. Today, the Cathedral Cave serves as an auditorium for events and the cave complex attracts nearly a million visitors each year. The cave is linked to local legends, including the belief that it connects to Africa via a subterranean tunnel and that it was once seen as the Gates of Hades by the Ancient Greeks.
