Grand Casemates Square via Landport (and later Watergate) has always been the principle entrance to the city. The Casemates building was prepared by William Green, chief engineer in 1770 to add bombproof barrack accommodation for the soldiers, but construction was not undertaken until after the Great Siege, hence the date 1817. The square was famous for the executions and punishments carried out in front of watching crowds, but thanks to the Government's vision Casemates Square has been returned to its former glory, and is now once again the centre of life in Gibraltar, though with less dramatic entertainment! After visiting other historical sites in Gibraltar your guide will recommend you and your family to visit the popular square where you will find the shopping area and restaurants.
