点评:Given Gibraltar’s position not only between two continents but also straddling two major seas, it’s not surprising that it has been occupied for tens of thousands of years.
This longevity is well reflected in this very good museum. It has a section on Neanderthals and our other prehistoric ancestors.
Remains of a Moorish bathhouse that was built during the 1300s is another excellent picture of life during the many centuries.
With the Great Siege being such a major event in its history a room is dedicated to those terrible four years under attack. A cogent display here is an iron furnace that was used to heat the iron shots to red-hot before firing them towards the enemy.
An anchor that looks like it’s of stone is actually a lead one from Roman times that was found in 1957. A great artefact.

这座非常好的博物馆很好地反映了这种长久的历史。它有一个关于尼安德特人和我们其他史前祖先的部分。
建于 1300 年代的摩尔人浴室遗迹是几个世纪以来生活的另一个绝佳写照。
大围攻是其历史上如此重大的事件,因此专门设立了一个房间来纪念那可怕的四年攻击。这里一个引人注目的展品是一个铁炉,它被用来将铁丸加热到炽热,然后向敌人发射。
一个看起来像石头的锚实际上是 1957 年发现的罗马时代的铅锚。一件伟大的文物。
