Established in 1793 by Captain John Drinkwater Bethune, the Gibraltar Garrison Library served as the HQ for the world’s second oldest English language newspaper and the paper that broke the news of the Battle of Trafalgar, the Gibraltar Chronicle. Today the Garrison contains well over 45,000 books, with many unique volumes covering culture and travel found within. Many say this is the finest English library outside of England, and we aren’t about to disagree. The whole thing is delightfully vintage too, in a most authentic way.
