Shrine of Our Lady of Europe

From GibMap

This former mosque was converted into a Catholic chapel in 1462 after the capture of Gibraltar by the Spanish. Since that time, a light was kept burning in a tower above the chapel - a forerunner to our present day lighthouse at Europa Point. Outside the chapel there is a fragment of pavement (once thought to have dated back to the Moorish occupation) which is likely to have been laid down at the start of the 18th century. There is also an old whipping post which dates back to the time that the shrine was used as a guardroom by the British.
