Gibraltar's strategic location has earned it the nickname 'Key to the Mediterranean'. The castle on the flag is modeled after the Moorish Castle and holds significant historical value.
This territory, once disputed between Britain and Spain, is now a self-governing British Overseas Territory with a unique culture. The famous Rock of Gibraltar and its Barbary macaques have become symbols of the area, and the flag reflects this unique identity.
