Shrine of Our Lady of Europe
About the Shrine
The Shrine of Our Lady of Europe is a Roman Catholic place of worship situated at Europa Point, at the southern tip of Gibraltar. Dedicated to the territory's patron saint, the site holds historical and religious significance for locals and visitors interested in the region's cultural heritage.
Getting There
From central Gibraltar, the location can be reached by local public bus (Route 2) or by taxi in roughly 15 to 20 minutes. Walking from the town centre along Europa Road takes approximately 45 to 60 minutes.
Time to Spend
Set aside roughly 20 to 30 minutes to view the sanctuary interior and explore the immediate grounds.
When to Visit
Visiting during daylight on clear days allows for good visibility across the Strait. Spring and autumn provide moderate weather for walking around the headland. The area is exposed to coastal winds, and while tour groups frequently pass through Europa Point, the shrine interior generally stays quiet.
