Europa Point is the southernmost section of Gibraltar. This area is beyond the Rock of Gibraltar. It is flat and overlooks the Straits of Gibraltar towards the Rif Mountains of Morocco. One can also view across the Bay of Gibraltar towards Spain. The notable buildings here include the lighthouse and two religious buildings - the new Ibrahim-al-Ibrahim Mosque and the Shrine of Our Lady of Europe.

The lighthouse at Europa Point is just one of several lighthouses in Gibraltar. It was built between 1838 and 1841 by Sir Alexander Woodford, the Governor of Gibraltar. It is the southernmost lighthouse operated by the Corporation of Trinity House, the official General Lighthouse Authority of England, Wales and other British territorial waters (not including Scotland and Northern Ireland).

About this website



Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
