Devil’s Tower Road is a major road of northeastern Gibraltar. It runs south of Gibraltar International Airport, extending from Winston Churchill Avenue East to Eastern Beach Road. The road was named after Devil’s Tower, a 17th-century watchtower, which formed part of the northern defences of Gibraltar as mentioned in the Treaty of Utrecht. The Devil’s Tower was close to a rock shelter where fossil remains of a Neanderthal child were discovered, together with palaeolithic tools. With the introduction of the recently completed tunnel under the runway, the traffic into Gibraltar is now diverted through Devils Tower Road as opposed to the infamous vehicle and pedestrian crossing over the runway. Once a backwater of largely industrial and warehouse land, Devils Tower Road is now the gateway into Gibraltar and the ‘Eastern Tower Cluster’ providing much needed housing for Gibraltar’s growing population. Outline planning approval has been achieved for a 28 storey residential led tower scheme to replace a recently vacated commercial building with a substantial increase in both massing and amenity.
