Gibraltar and it's Military History

A lot has changed in Gibraltar through recent times, once strategically important to the military (though people argue it still is ), now a Finance Centre and a busy tourist location . But it's military history is still embedded in its streets ,walls,fortifications ,gun emplacements, tunnels etc .As a British Gibraltarian I would not like the latter to disappear as this is part of our heritage .
