Description: On 4th August 1704, Admiral Sir George Rooke led an Anglo-Dutch fleet to capture Gibraltar during the War of the Spanish Succession. This pivotal event initiated British control over Gibraltar, formalized by the Treaty of Utrecht in 1713, which ceded the territory from Spain to Britain in perpetuity. In 2024, Gibraltar celebrates 320 years under British sovereignty. This long history underscores Gibraltar’s strategic importance and its evolution into a distinctive community with a unique cultural and national identity. Gibraltar has developed its own system of self-governance, maintaining autonomy in many areas while remaining a British Overseas Territory. The people of Gibraltar have demonstrated resilience through historical sieges, economic changes, and political challenges, maintaining a strong sense of community and identity. This resilience is a cornerstone of Gibraltar’s modern character, blending historical roots with contemporary advancements. This collection will mark the unbreakable bond between Gibraltar and the United Kingdom.
