Main Street, Gibraltar : ウィキペディア英語版 | Main Street, Gibraltar
Main Street ((スペイン語:Calle Real)) is the main arterial street in the British overseas territory of Gibraltar. ==History== Main Street's route was established in the 14th century which was confirmed when the ''Puerta de África'' (now called the Southport Gates) were built in 1575, during the Spanish period. Nearly every building in the main street was damaged during the Great Siege of Gibraltar when from 1779 to 1783 the town was attacked by a combined French and Spanish fleet. Because main street was near the harbour it was easily bombarded by the ships in the harbour. Col John Drinkwater wrote "that some few, near South-port, continued to be inhabited by soldiers families, but in general the floors and roofs were destroyed and the bare shell only was left standing." The street's route has only had minor adjustment when the front of the Cathedral of St. Mary the Crowned was re-modeled and downsized in 1801 in order to straighten the street on the orders of the British Governor, Charles O'Hara. A branch of Marks & Spencer was established in Gibraltar on the street in 1968.
