Tour at the University of Gibraltar

Join Caroline-Moss Gibbons, Parasol librarian & DPO at the University of Gibraltar for a tour around the premises.

We will explore the history and architecture of the bombproof barracks at the Europa Point Campus. Originally constructed by the Royal Artificers during the 1840s-1860s, it also spent time as the MoD’s St Christopher’s School.  Today, after meticulous restoration and renovation it has been transformed into a modern University, skilfully combining the historic character with state-of-the-art educational facilities.
