Description
The imposing Rock of Gibraltar, located on the southern end of the Iberian Peninsula at the entrance of the Mediterranean, is property of the United Kingdom. The sovereignty of Gibraltar was transferred from Spain to Great Britain in 1713, at the end of the War of the Spanish Succession, by the Treaty of Utrecht. However, Spain still asserts a claim to Gibraltar, and the centuries-old dispute over the sovereignty of Gibraltar is a major point of contention in current-day Anglo-Spanish relations.
