Park
The Mediterraneo Marine Park is a vibrant and complex water park that offers various interesting features such as swimming pools, waterfalls and gardens. It also houses restaurants, bars and a casino to cater to different interests. The water in the pool is salty but refreshing for those who prefer sunbathing over swimming. Despite being cold, once you're through it the experience becomes enjoyable. The park boasts of its cleanliness with fresh and quiet surroundings making it an ideal place for relaxation during September afternoons.
Amazing spot for chilling, eating and boozing! Lovely drop

Honestly great place, you must brave the cold water tho. There is food and snacks and coffee almost everywhere around and a bar in the middle of the water. The only issue I have is how you have to go get the mats for the beds and umbrellas in different places and sometimes far from where you sit.
Salty and really cold water. Goal is more staying in the sun then swimming pool. One you're through it is nice. For me: it took me one hour... 😁
Place looks nice, BUT!!! Zero service, people does not know even a word in english. I had to go to other side of park just to get the umbrella, no information at all about what is included to the ticket.
Very clean and super good pool. The price is very affordable
Wonderful September afternoon spent in a relaxing manner in the park. Fresh, clesn, quiet and sunny!
Very good pool
Beautiful pools and views of the Mediterranean Sea

The House of Dragons is a remarkable tourist attraction that was designed by the distinguished architect José María Pérez in 1905. The building features magnificent architecture and is embellished with bronze dragons on its rooftop, adding to its unique charm. This elegant structure is not only beautiful but also showcases the creativity and brilliance of the renowned architect who created it.
Excursion to Ceuta, SP. Very Nice spanish territory, situaded north Martil Fnideq Mdik . We had to cross the border. It was fast entering but Turning back took more time getting back to morocco. FREE BEACH all equiped with shower, lifegard, ect. We ate on the beach. Great place. The town has a neo colonial past. Nice architecture.
Pierre R — Google review
Beautiful but couldn’t see the inside. The House of Dragons gets its name from the four large, menacing dragon sculptures perched on the corners of its rooftop. These dragons were originally made of cast iron and are a significant symbol of the building. However, during the Spanish Civil War, the dragons were removed to prevent them from being damaged. They were missing for decades until 2006, when replicas were installed, restoring the building to its former glory.
This building is a prime example of eclectic modernist architecture and is a beloved landmark in Ceuta, often attracting both tourists and locals due to its distinctive and fantastical appearance.
The only noteworthy architectural structure in the city. And that's ok. Wasn’t inside.
Amazing experience, highly recommended!
Amazing monument in ceuta reminds me of game of thrones 😍😅
Very beautiful place! A round also. Have nice coffee terrace.
Very nice building in the center of Ceuta. Unusual shapes..
Very cool building to see. There is no way to go inside.

Ceuta, being a relatively small city, doesn't have an abundance of museums. However, there are a handful worth visiting like The Revellin Museum (also known as the Ceuta City Museum), Military Museum of the Legion, and The Royal Walls Museum. In the city center, there are various bars, pubs, and restaurants where both locals and travelers can socialize. Additionally, one can relax and enjoy the scenic views from the promenade.
Definitely try to visit the wall inside. It’s something that you for sure don’t expect. I didn’t want to upload fotos because it can not present not even close how it is there..

You have to book in edvance, you can't just walk in , unfortunately we didn't know that and missed it
Beautiful place, the best in cueta, in my opinion.
We recently enjoyed a 10-night Western Mediterranean Cruise on the MSC Lirica sailing from Alicante (cost £420 each in January). The sixth stop was Ceuta and from the port there was a short walk to all the main attractions including the Murallas Reales de Ceuta (Royal Walls of Ceuta). The Royal Walls is a well maintained fort that dates back to the 16th century. At the fort there are lots of artefacts including cannons The fortress walls are divided by a moat that connects both the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean. From the top of the moat there are fantastic views of the port, Mount Hacho (mountain) and the beaches Playa de la Ribera and Playa del Chorrillo.
The Royal walls are surrounded by the historical city of Ceuta that has beautiful fountains, monuments (Hercules, Escultura Pedro Meneses, Escultura de Enrique el Navegant, Escultura del Alcalde Sanchez Prados and so on), gardens and squares including Plaza de Africa and Plaza de los Reyes.
There are also a number of museums including the Military Museum of the Legion, Fuerte del Desnarigado fort and museum, the Museo del Revellín and the Museo de la Basilica Tardorromana. Other attractions include the Triumphal arch, the casino, the Cathedral, the House of Dragons, Puerto Califal Fort, Ceuta Park Mall, the Shrine of Our Lady of Africa, the lighthouse Faro Punta Almin, the food market Mercado Central and Park San Amaro. We thoroughly enjoyed our time in Ceuta, because we felt relaxed, the people were very friendly and there was so much to do and see We would definitely recommend a visit to both Ceuta and the Royal Walls.
Great place to visit we loved ceuta on our day visit off a cruise and especially in and around the Royal walls medieval but also lovely shops restaurants and bars its all there if you want it
stunning walls and clear blue waters
Impressive set of fortificarions, built in the 1540s by the Portuguese.

The Museo de la Basilica Tardorromana is an underground museum that showcases the remains of an ancient basilica dating back to the late 4th or early 5th century. Discovered during street work in the 1980s, this well-preserved basilica is the centerpiece of the museum's archaeological tour, which also features artifacts from prehistory, ancient history, and medieval times.
Found underground in the early 90s by chance, the Basilica represents ancient history at the heart of the city center. Must visit!

It gets some interesting stuff
Gnus ma7talinha
(Translated by Google) Excellent museographic discourse based on the recovery and enhancement of a site of medium interest but which serves as an argument to narrate the entire history of the city, from its semi-legendary origins to well into the Modern Age.
In addition to the excellently well-preserved remains of the early Christian site, pieces are displayed, mostly original, found in various archaeological excavations or in underwater dives throughout the land and water area of the city.
The museum classification is very clear, with explanatory signs and open spaces, strategically illuminated, that narrate the daily life of the city's inhabitants in all its aspects and periods.
The exhibition is completed by successive models and plans of the urban, peri-urban and walled layout of Ceuta at each moment in its history, evoking the places where today, traces of what is explained in this Museum can be seen.
Admission is free and I think it is highly recommended for all audiences but especially for schoolchildren and young people.
I felt very satisfied after the explanatory video and after my visit I toured Ceuta with another perspective, perhaps a more insightful one, thanks to what I had learned.
(Original)
Excelente discurso museográfico a partir de la recuperación y puesta en valor de un yacimiento de mediano interés pero que sirve de argumento para narrar toda la historia de la ciudad, desde los orígenes semi legendarios hasta bien entrada la Edad Moderna.
Además de los restos, excelentemente bien conservados del yacimiento paleocristiano, se muestran piezas, en su mayoría originales, halladas en diversas excavaciones arqueológicas o en inmersiones submarinas en todo el área terrestre y acuática de la ciudad.
La calificación museistica es muy clara, con cartelas explicativas y espacios diáfanos, estrategicamente iluminados, que narran la vida cotidiana de los habitantes de la urbe en todos sus aspectos y épocas.
Completan la muestra sucesivas maquetas y planos del trazado urbano, periurbano y amurallado de Ceuta en cada momento de su historia, evocando los lugares donde hoy en día, se pueden comprobar las trazas de lo que se explica en este Museo.
La entrada es gratuita y creo que es muy recomendable para todos los públicos pero especialmente para escolares y jóvenes.
Yo me sentí muy satisfecho tras el video explicativo y después de mi visita recorrí Ceuta con otra mirada, por ventura, más perspicaz, gracias a lo aprendido.
(Translated by Google) Very interesting, free, and perfectly explains the fascinating history of this little-known wonder of a city.

Muy interesante, gratuito y explica perfectamente la fascinante historia de esta maravilla de ciudad tan desconocida.
(Translated by Google) A large museum around the ancient basilica. In addition to its remains, you will see many interesting materials and learn about the history of the city from ancient times. I liked everything, but it would be ideal if there were also captions in English. Entrance is free.
(Original)
Чималий музей навколо старовинної базиліки. Окрім її залишків ви побачите багато цікавих матеріалів та дізнаєтесь про історію міста з давніх часів. Все сподобалось, але б в ідеалі, щоб ще були підписи англійською. Вхід безплатний.
(Translated by Google) I would say that the exhibition on display is very interesting because in addition to the remains of the Basilica, pieces and archaeological remains from different civilizations and periods are exhibited. Admission is free and the tour, in addition to being enjoyable, can be done at a convenient time.

Yo diría que la muestra expuesta es interesantísima porque además de los restos de la Basílica se exhiben piezas y restos arqueológicos de diferentes civilizaciones y épocas . La entrada es gratuita y el recorrido ,además de ameno ,se puede hacer en un tiempo conveniente .
(Translated by Google) Museum built around an early Christian basilica from the late 4th or early 5th century. In addition to the well-preserved basilica itself, the museum has an archaeological tour of the prehistory, ancient history and medieval history of the city, with pieces of interest such as the remains of a Roman sarcophagus from the 3rd century. It is a beautiful and interesting museum. It is relatively small and can be visited quickly and comfortably. Admission is free.

Museo construido en torno a una basílica paleocristiana de finales del siglo IV o inicios del V.

The Baño árabe de la plaza de la Paz is a captivating historical site that transports visitors back to the 12th century, showcasing the rich cultural heritage of Spain. These Arab baths, classified as an Asset of Cultural Interest, exemplify the traditional Hammam style and offer a glimpse into ancient bathing practices. The ambiance is enhanced by delightful music and a charming atmosphere that many find glamorous. While entrance is free, it's essential to check in at the tourist office for opening times before visiting.
Beautiful Arab Baths from the 12th and 13th centuries.
And FREE entrance but you first have to go to the tourist office to ask when it's open. I went at 6 PM and the cleaning lady was there, she'll open the gate for you.

Very cool, small archeological site. Hammam (Muslim bath house) from the 11th century. I love going to hammams in Casablanca. It's interesting to see an ancient one.
Interesting to see from the outside but we couldn't go inside. Not sure if or when it's open.
Ok

Catholic cathedral

Points of Interest & Landmarks
The interior of the church offers a stunning panorama, showcasing the timeless elegance that is synonymous with traditional religious structures. The cathedral, known as the Cathedral of the Assumption in occupied Ceuta, boasts a mesmerizing sight from within its walls. Its intricate design and architectural grandeur captivate onlookers, evoking a sense of awe and reverence. With its rich historical significance and sacred atmosphere, this catholic edifice exemplifies the inherent beauty associated with such venerable places of worship.
Beautiful view from inside the church, traditional church was always beautiful
Benedictus L — Google review

The most interesting thing about this cathedral is the number and size of the weddings.
The outside is fairly ordinary, just painted pink and white, and the interior is not of great interest either, just painted white and grey. The nearby church of Our Lady of Africa rather outshines it with its glorious gold-leaf interior.
But the weddings!
The wedding parties arrive and you are overwhelmed with the elegant outfits of the guests and the flamboyant dress of the bride. You'll see that in Spanish fashion, just as the bride is led to the altar by her father, the groom is led by his mother.
And if, as it is fairly often, Ceuta being a military garrison, it's a military wedding, then the swords come out to make an arch of honour as the couple leaves the ceremony.
If you are in the Parador it's worth asking for a room with a view of the cathedral front, so you can watch all this in comfort from your balcony. :-)

11:45 closed, 12:00 must be opened , but when we come at 12:10, it’s closed.
Closed with no info as to opening hours
Good
(Translated by Google) I think it is built on an old mosque. The baroque style dominates but it also has examples of other styles. The heritage is interesting in terms of altarpieces and paintings. The dome is also beautiful. It is located in a square that I found pleasant and clean.
(Original)
Creo que está construida sobre una antigua mezquita . Domina el estilo barroco pero también tiene muestras de otros estilos .El patrimonio es interesante en materia de retablos y pinturas. La cúpula también es bonita .Se encuentra en una plaza que me pareció agradable y limpia.
(Translated by Google) It is a shame that the bishopric does not invest more money in the maintenance of the Cathedral, flakes fall from the ceiling, excess humidity... I do not think that this is very good for the conservation of paintings and furnishings dating from the 16th century11.
(Original)
Es una pena que el obispado no invierta más dinero en la mantención de la Catedral , se caen lascas del techo , exceso de humedades ... no creo que eso sea muy bueno para la conservación de pinturas y enseres datados del siglo xv11.
(Translated by Google) For years I have been visiting Ceuta, I have never been able to enter this cathedral, which is always closed. It is regrettable not to be able to meditate in holy places outside of Mass. There is no indication of times or events on the door. How sad.

The Mercado Central de Abastos is an exceptional and vibrant marketplace filled with diverse vendors who are attentive and friendly. It is worth exploring this colorful space simply for a leisurely stroll and to discover the unique characteristics of its people. Within the market, one can find a wide array of goods, including fruits, fish, vegetables, as well as cafes and churrerias. For a delightful treat, visitors must try the delicious offerings at Abdullah's house.
Busy market place. Lots of choice
Victor S — Google review
Pretty sad. Up to two thirds of the stalls are closed. The escalators are out of order. The place just looks unloved.
Loads of halal stalls and Moroccan cake shops, far fewer proper charcuteries or butchers which is what I was seeking.
There are a couple of bars that were doing a trade.
The only impressive part was the fresh fish section.
I hate promoting huge concerns, but you're better off going to a major supermarket.
Regular
(Translated by Google) Traditional food market where you can find a wide variety of products where the different cultures of the place mix.
There is also pretty good tapas, especially fresh fish at "Bar Carmelo", run by Carmen and family. Where they also offer seasoned potatoes, fine shellfish and the typical homemade stews. Highly recommended. You can also have churros for breakfast.

You can find everything, and of good quality.
Even go there for breakfast or a snack.
Professionals run the stalls: the greengrocer knows his fruit, the butcher knows his meat, and the fishmonger knows his fish and seafood.
It's a pleasure to shop this way.

Military Museums
The Military Museum of the Legion showcases a collection of artifacts, uniforms, and weapons related to the Spanish Legion. It is an impressive museum worth visiting if you're in Ceuta. However, photos are not allowed inside the museum. Visitors can learn about the history of the legion by exploring this interesting military museum.
If you like military history and speak Spanish you will enjoy this museum. It has lots of photos and information on the Spanish Legion. It is an old-style museum but well done. It would be hard to appreciate if you don't speak Spanish, however.
Don M — Google review
I was disappointed as at 10.40 on a Thursday, it was still not open. I based my departure around visiting the museum. It turned out it was a local holiday. Bad luck on my part!!
A small military museum showing the history of the Spanish Legion (known as the Tercio) in Ceuta and north Africa. Military insignia, uniforms, weapons, etc, plus lots of photos. Free, so worth a quick visit.
Interesting Military Museum with uniforms,weapons and artefacts relating to the Legion.
No photos allowed.
(Translated by Google) This museum is free but you have to identify yourself to enter because you belong to the army, and it is not always nice to have to give your information. That said, it is one of the most interesting museums in the city due to the large number of historical and curious objects (uniforms, weapons, documents, paintings, flags...) that it houses. In fact, it seems that the space is too small despite having several floors. They also organize guided tours that must be arranged in advance. The museum staff is made up of legionnaires who will be happy to tell you relevant details and stories about this body. If you go to Ceuta, don't miss it.
(Original)
Este museo es gratis pero tienes que identificarte para entrar por pertenecer al ejército, y no siempre gusta tener que dar los datos. Dicho esto, es uno de los museos más interesantes de la ciudad por la gran cantidad de objetos históricos y curiosos (uniformes, armas, documentos, cuadros, banderas...) que alberga. De hecho, parece que el espacio se les queda pequeño a pesar de contar con varias plantas. Organizan además visitas guiadas que hay que concertar previamente. El personal del museo lo forman legionarios que estarán encantados de contarte detalles e historias relevantes sobre este cuerpo. Si vais por Ceuta, no os lo perdáis.
The Spanish Legion has a very rich history in Ceuta. This free museum shows the history of the legion and all that is related. Its maintained by active legionnaires. Take note of the opening hours before visiting.

Beach

Playa del Chorillo is a beautiful beach that offers a serene atmosphere for swimming, sunbathing, water activities, and lounging under umbrellas. This beach holds great sentimental value for many individuals who have fond memories of visiting it with their families. Its history is rich and cherished by those who visit it, making it a beloved destination.
We recently enjoyed a 10-night Western Mediterranean Cruise on the MSC Lirica sailing from Alicante (cost £420 each in January). The sixth stop was Ceuta and there was a short walk to all the main attractions including Playa del Chorrillo.
It was very warm day for February and the beach was busy with families, couples, groups and solo visitors. The 1.2 km beach was very clean with amazing views. This was a perfect location to enjoy a picnic or lunch at one of the beach bars (open in the summer). In the summer there are lots of water sports including kayaking and canoeing, it is possible to use the inflatable slides in the sea or to hire sunbeds and umbrellas.
The beach was a short walk from the centre of Ceuta, which was beautiful with parks, fountains, plazas, museums, monuments and historical buildings including the House of Dragons, the Cathedral, the fort, Murallas Reales de Ceuta, the Triumphal arch, Faro Punta Almin lighthouse and Fuerte del Desnarigado fort.

Lovely park that start with fountains, bird enclosures and play areas, and climbs up Monte Hacho for some amazing views from the top. Be prepared as some of the paths are rough, and all are steep.
Beautiful park with lovely pool. Different areas of the park offer different views and shade. It was bank holiday when we went and most of the eateries were shut, there were a couple that were open.
I've liked it so so so much needs a bit more direction signs
Nice place for the kiddos
Nice view but dirty and not nice way to the park.
Beautiful vieuw on the Bay of Ceuta and the whole Straight of Gibraltar..
Beautiful views out towards Africa from the lookout

Mirador de Isabel II is a beautiful and pleasant circular hiking route around the city of Ceuta, offering stunning views, nature, and history. The route starts at the mirador and continues through the A2 road, Fuente de Aranguren, and Fort of Anyera.

Mountain peak
Monte Hacho, a renowned mountain peak, boasts of an age-old fortress and military museum that is situated on its mountainside. This iconic summit is primarily famous for its panoramic views of the surrounding area. The peak's historic fortification and associated exhibits serve as a testament to the region's rich cultural heritage. Monte Hacho's breathtaking vistas attract visitors from all over the world, making it a must-visit destination for tourists seeking to explore the natural wonders of this picturesque mountain range.
Monte Hacho is a low mountain that disregards the Spanish city of Ceuta, on the north shore of Africa. Monte Hacho is situated on the Mediterranean drift at the Strait of Gibraltar inverse Gibraltar, and alongside the Rock of Gibraltar is guaranteed by some to be one of the Pillars of Hercules the other contender for the southern column being Jebel Musa. As indicated by the legend Hercules pushed separated the two mountains and made a connection between the Mediterranean and the Atlantic. In established human progress it was known as Mons Abila Mount Abila or Abyla.
Monte Hacho is an important hill that dominates the city. For this reason, it is a strategic spot, it being in itself a fort, because of its height. In this hill sit the forts of Hacho and Desnarigado, the latter being the present Army Museum. Monte Hacho is crowned by seven peaks. In one of them there is a lighthouse, which gives it its name: La Farola. At the top we find the hermitage of San Antonio, a place where popular pilgrimages are celebrated. Also at the top is San Amaro Park, home to a diverse flora.
Monte Hacho is situated on the Peninsula de Almina and beaten by a stronghold, the Fortaleza de Hacho, which was first worked by the Byzantines, previously being added to by the Arabs, Portuguese and Spanish. It is currently involved by the Spanish armed force.

Port
Puerto de Ceuta is a bustling harbor with cargo ships and ferries dominating the scene. The port-side walkway offers a pleasant stroll and features seafood restaurants. Visitors can enjoy watching ships come in and out of Ceuta, adding to the lively atmosphere of the area. Additionally, there are various attractions nearby, including the Roman Theater discovered in 1988, as well as statues, churches, and forts to explore.
Came to Ceuta from Algeciras by ferry and had a very pleasant journey. Ferry is very comfortable and spacious. Staff is efficient and helpful. Spent half a day in Ceura exploring, swimming and sunbathing at Rivera and then found restaurant with a top Angus beef and enjoyed it.

Beautiful place, the best in cueta, in my opinion.
We recently enjoyed a 10-night Western Mediterranean Cruise on the MSC Lirica sailing from Alicante (cost £420 each in January). The sixth stop was Ceuta and from the port there was a short walk to all the main attractions including the Murallas Reales de Ceuta (Royal Walls of Ceuta). The Royal Walls is a well maintained fort that dates back to the 16th century. At the fort there are lots of artefacts including cannons The fortress walls are divided by a moat that connects both the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean. From the top of the moat there are fantastic views of the port, Mount Hacho (mountain) and the beaches Playa de la Ribera and Playa del Chorrillo.
The Royal walls are surrounded by the historical city of Ceuta that has beautiful fountains, monuments (Hercules, Escultura Pedro Meneses, Escultura de Enrique el Navegant, Escultura del Alcalde Sanchez Prados and so on), gardens and squares including Plaza de Africa and Plaza de los Reyes.
There are also a number of museums including the Military Museum of the Legion, Fuerte del Desnarigado fort and museum, the Museo del Revellín and the Museo de la Basilica Tardorromana. Other attractions include the Triumphal arch, the casino, the Cathedral, the House of Dragons, Puerto Califal Fort, Ceuta Park Mall, the Shrine of Our Lady of Africa, the lighthouse Faro Punta Almin, the food market Mercado Central and Park San Amaro. We thoroughly enjoyed our time in Ceuta, because we felt relaxed, the people were very friendly and there was so much to do and see We would definitely recommend a visit to both Ceuta and the Royal Walls.
Great place to visit we loved ceuta on our day visit off a cruise and especially in and around the Royal walls medieval but also lovely shops restaurants and bars its all there if you want it

The Shrine of Our Lady of Africa has its origins in the Portuguese crown, with a small church built in the early 15th century. Initially considered a sanctuary, it holds appreciable heritage such as the baptismal font. The history of the Sanctuary dates back to 1421 when the image of Lady of Africa was sent to Ceuta by Don Enrique the Navigator. The primitive temple is believed to be identified with the head of the current Sanctuary, featuring baroque architecture.

Fairly uninteresting outside, just a rather ordinary church painted pink and white. Although I suppose that for a Brit, a pink-painted church is slightly of interest!
However inside it is overwhelming with the gold-leaf decorations pulling your eyes into the altar and the statue of Our Lady of Africa, the patron saint of the town of Ceuta, and the origin of the girl's name "Africa" which you hear here as mothers call their toddlers to them in the park.

This was a perfect location to enjoy a picnic or lunch at one of the beach bars (in the summer). In the summer there are lots of water sports including kayaking and canoeing, it is possible to use the inflatable slides in the sea or to hire sunbeds and umbrellas.

It has recently undergone significant renovations, although the main drawback is that, due to the infamous Historical Memory Law, many pieces of historical interest from the Franco era or those with similar symbols, such as paintings, plaques, and weapons, were removed a couple of years ago. It's a shame that the original museum with all the history it once held can no longer be seen.

Military Museums
A well-deserved visit to the Sala Museo De Regulares offers a comprehensive understanding of Ceuta's history and its significance. The museum, accompanied by knowledgeable staff from the Corps, provides valuable insights into this important part of Ceuta's past. Notably, on specific dates such as Army Day, Ceuta Day, and December 8th, visitors may have the opportunity to witness preparations or parades.
I arrived at the Barracks Gate not realising that the Museum is situated inside a working Military Base.As I don’t speak Spanish I waited for a while until the Guard Commander found a young Regulare who spoke good English to show me around.My guide was very informative and extremely helpful and guided me through the exhibits explaining with great pride the history of this famous unit.
I felt privileged to be able to see the marvellous architecture of the Base and cannot thank the guys enough for my visit and treatment while there.
I would highly recommend a visit to this marvellous Museum if you are in Ceuta.

(Translated by Google) Excellent historical museum of the Corps of Regulars from its origins to the present day, passing through all the milestones in the history of Spain.
Uniforms, emblems, banners, flags, weapons, photos, works of art, maps, unique documents about the heroic deeds of the Regulars of Ceuta.
Admission is free but it is advisable to arrange a visit to obtain a guide who guarantees the best use of the tour of the most significant pieces.
(Original)
Excelente museo histórico del Cuerpo de Regulares desde sus orígenes hasta la actualidad pasando por todos los hitos de la historia de España.
Uniformes, emblemas, estandartes, banderas, armamento, fotos, obras de arte, mapas, documentos únicos sobre los hechos heroicos de los Regulares de Ceuta.
La entrada es gratuita pero conviene concertar la visita para obtener un guía que garantiza el mejor aprovechamiento del recorrido por las piezas más significativas.
(Translated by Google) An incredible museum that showcases such a glorious and honorable part of our history. Many valuable pieces are excellently displayed and cared for. But the best of all is Soldier Pascual. His knowledge and wisdom are spectacular, but his friendly, approachable nature makes the visit an unforgettable experience. Thank you very much, Pascual.
(Original)
Increíble museo que muestra una parte tan gloriosa y honorable de nuestra historia. Muchas piezas de gran valor, excelentemente expuestas y cuidadas. Pero lo mejor de todo es el Soldado Pascual. Su conocimiento y sabiduría son espectaculares, pero además su trato ,cercanía y simpatía natural convierten la visita en una experiencia inolvidable. Muchas gracias, Pascual.

A wonderful journey to the past, for its architecture and history, told by your guide, the soldier Pascual, with great detail and exceptional treatment.
They are ones you want to visit again.

El mejor Museo de la Ciudad de Ceuta.
Un Maravilloso viaje al pasado, por su arquitectura e historia, contada por su guía, el soldado Pascual, con todo detalle y un trato excepcional.

(Translated by Google) Magnificent visit to the Regulares 54 barracks in Ceuta. Very grateful to soldier Pascual, he made the visit very enjoyable, he showed us the barracks, the chapel, the Moorish room and the museum. We loved it.
(Original)
Magnífica visita al cuartel de Regulares 54 de Ceuta. Muy agradecidos al soldado Pascual, hizo muy amena la visita, nos enseñó el cuartel, la capilla, la sala mora y el museo. Nos encantó.
(Translated by Google) Great plan. The museum and the soldier who showed us around were very nice. We also got a guided tour of the barracks itself.
(Original)
Gran plan. Muy bien el museo y el militar que nos lo enseñó. También se nos hizo visita guiada al cuartel en sí.
(Translated by Google) The guided tour of the barracks is more than interesting. It is recommended for anyone interested in historical facts, not just military history. The guide was a walking encyclopedia of the history of this particular military unit and very hospitable. It is obvious that he is passionate about what he does.
As it is a functioning barracks, the visit has even more added value, because when do you have the opportunity to see a barracks from the inside?
The Mora Room is, of course, the centerpiece. One does not expect to find such a beautiful room in a building with such a simple exterior. It is an unexpected pleasant shock to enter the Hall.
On the tour of the different buildings you see many details such as benches with very detailed images of tiles that give a special touch.
I would recommend anyone visiting Ceuta to book the guided tour.
(Original)
La visita guiada al cuartel es más que interesante. Es recomendable para cualquier persona que se interesa por hechos históricos, no sólo por historia militar. El guía era una enciclopedia andante de la historia de esta unidad militar en particular y muy hospitalario. Se nota que siente pasión por lo que hace.
Al tratarse de un cuartel en funcionamiento, la visita tiene aún más valor añadido, porque ¿cuándo se tiene la oportunidad de ver un cuartel por dentro?
La Sala Mora es, por supuesto, la pieza central. Uno no espera encontrar una sala tan bonita en un edificio de por fuera tan sencillo. Es un choque agradable inesperado entrar en la Sala.
En el recorrido por los diferentes edificios se ve muchos detalles como bancos con imagenes muy detalladas de baldosas que dan un toque especial.
Recomendaría a cualquier persona que visita Ceuta a concertar la visita guiada.
(Translated by Google) A very enjoyable and entertaining visit. Private Pascual gave us a very interesting explanation, and we saw some very beautiful parts of the barracks. Thank you for your work in sharing this information with such devotion.

Luckia Casino Ceuta is a charming establishment nestled in a picturesque location. Although I don't typically indulge in gambling, I decided to visit for a refreshing beverage and found myself trying my luck at the roulette table - much to my surprise, I emerged victorious! The amiable staff and well-stocked bar left me impressed. It's worth noting that entry to the casino requires identification. Adjacent to this delightful venue lies an inviting outdoor nightclub and a delectable restaurant.
Nice casino, it is located in the best place, seeing to Algeciras, Gibraltar on the sea. They have many options, poker, tables, etc.

Extremely small casino, slot machines available always, the table games open at 8pm. The attendant was very nice. I only needed a photo ID to get in, not my passport. It was very clean inside.
We recently visited the Casino of Ceuta, which is located in a very beautiful setting. We don´t gamble normally , so we just went in for a drink, but did end up trying the roulette and won! The staff is very friendly and the bar is good. You are required to bring in ID to enter the casino. Just above it there is a nice open air nightclub and a restaurant.
The personal is incompetent, very small casino

Ayman K — Google review
Posted hours on the door itself said it should be open 11:00-14:00 on Sundays but all we found was a closed door with no memo as to the reason. So it seems like they don't really follow it. Therefore you cannot expect this place to be open.
Very small museum with archaeological exhibits. Free admission.
The museum has been changed so its description should be updated. Now it only features a small exhibition room.
Closed on Sunday afternoon - which it will be if you catch a ferry from mainland Spain
(Translated by Google) As a museum it is modest due to the scope of the pieces on display. All of them are the result of finds in sites in the heart of the urban area, mainly from modern and contemporary periods. They provide information about the level and lifestyle of the excavated homes. There are explanatory panels about the original location of the finds as well as the daily life of the families who used the utensils and ornaments on display.
The building was completed with temporary fine arts exhibition rooms and an assembly hall on the upper floor.

The Estatua de Sánchez Prados is a poignant tribute to Antonio Lopez Sanchez Prado, who served as a doctor, politician, and mayor of Ceuta before his tragic execution during the early days of the Spanish Civil War. This sculpture captures the essence of a man deeply cherished in local memory for his compassion and dedication to helping those in need. Originally adorned with a cane and stethoscope—symbols of his dual roles—these elements have unfortunately been lost due to vandalism.

(Translated by Google) Sculptural tribute to the first Portuguese governor of Ceuta (1434 - 1437) Pedro de Meneses (1370 - 1437)
Legend has it that no knight responded to the request of John I of Portugal to govern and defend Ceuta, except the young Don Pedro who was playing hockey 🏒 Then, he raised his stick and responded to the monarch that with that single stick, the aleo, It was enough to fight the Moors. And indeed, since 1415 and on seven occasions, he demonstrated it.
Since then, he has been represented with the stick and the aleo that belonged to him is currently carried by the venerated image of Our Lady of Africa, Patroness of the city of Ceuta.
Furthermore, when the military commanders take possession in Ceuta, they give themselves a replica of the alloy and commit to defending Ceuta as Pedro de Meneses did.
This sculptural group dates back to 1998 and is the work of the artist Casto Solano (Olazagutia, Navarra, 1958)
(Original)
Homenaje escultórico al primer gobernador portugués de Ceuta (1434 - 1437) Pedro de Meneses (1370 - 1437)
Cuenta la leyenda que ningún caballero respondió a la petición de Juan I de Portugal para gobernar y defender Ceuta, excepto el joven Don Pedro que estaba jugando al hockey 🏒 Entonces, alzó su palo y respondió al monarca que con ese sólo palo, el aleo, se bastaba para combatir a los moros. Y efectivamente, desde 1415 y en siete ocasiones, lo demostró.
Desde entonces, se le representa con el palo y el aleo que le perteneciera lo porta en la actualidad la venerada imagen de Nuestra Señora de África, Santa Patrona de la ciudad de Ceuta.
Además, cuando los comandantes militares toman posesión en Ceuta se traspasan una réplica del aleo y se comprometen a defender Ceuta como lo hizo Pedro de Meneses.
Este conjunto escultórico, data de 1998 y es obra del artista Casto Solano (Olazagutia, Navarra, 1958)

(Translated by Google) Work by Casto Solano. It represents Pedro de Meneses, the first Portuguese governor of Ceuta, in 1414. The author of Basque origin only has this work in Ceuta. It could be part of a group of works that commemorate historical figures related to the history of Ceuta. It is not its original location. As a curious fact, the child who appears next to Pedro de Meneses is a portrait of the author's own son.
(Original)
Obra de Casto Solano. Representa a Pedro de Meneses, primer gobernador portugués de Ceuta, en 1414. El autor de origen vasco solo cuenta con esta obra en Ceuta. Podría encuadrarse en un conjunto de obras que conmemoran a personajes históricos relacionados con la historia de Ceuta. No es su emplazamiento original. Como dato curioso, el niño que aparece junto a Pedro de Meneses es un retrato del propio hijo del autor.
(Translated by Google) The sculpture of Pedro de Meneses, first Governor of Ceuta, is located on the Paseo de la Marina Española. Don Pedro was appointed Governor by King John I of Portugal, a few days after the conquest of Ceuta, in 1415. The sculpture represents Don Pedro de Meneses, sitting on a bench on the Paseo, with a child on his knees and a staff in his hands, the "aleo", the staff of command of the Government of Ceuta with which the monarch gave him possession of his position.
A commemorative column with the legend «D. Pedro de Meneses, Ensign of Infante D. Duarte, count of Vila Real and Viana do Alentejo. Governor of Ceuta. 1415-1437.»
The sculpture is the work of Casto Solano and the clearly Portuguese-inspired tiles that decorate the bench and the column are by the ceramist Carmen Navío.
(Original)
La escultura de Pedro de Meneses, primer Gobernador de Ceuta, se encuentra en el Paseo de la Marina Española. Don Pedro fue nombrado Gobernador por el rey Juan I de Portugal, pocos días después de la conquista de Ceuta, en 1415. El conjunto escultórico representa a Don Pedro de Meneses, sentado en un banco del Paseo, con un niño en sus rodillas y un bastón en sus manos, el «aleo», la vara de mando del Gobierno de Ceuta con el que el monarca le dio posesión de su cargo.
Sobre el banco se erige una columna conmemorativa con la leyenda «D. Pedro de Meneses, Alférez del Infante D. Duarte, conde de Vila Real y de Viana do Alentejo. Gobernador de Ceuta. 1415-1437.»
La escultura es obra de Casto Solano y los azulejos de clara inspiración lusa que decoran el banco y la columna son de la ceramista Carmen Navío.

Playa Calamocarro is known for its cleanliness and chilly waters caused by the current from the Atlantic Ocean. There are no sales points available, so it is advisable to purchase beverages in Ceuta or visit the nearby neighborhood of Benzu, which is a few kilometers away. While there, one can savor a delicious cup of tea at some of the local cafes.

Historical landmark
Nestled atop Monte Hacho in Ceuta, the Fortaleza del Monte Hacho stands as a remarkable testament to military architecture and history. This fortress, which served as an anti-aircraft artillery barracks, rises about 190 meters above sea level and is just a short distance from the town center. Spanning an impressive 10 hectares, it features over forty circular towers dating back to the Umayyad period.
(Translated by Google) Impressive fortress at the highest point in the territory of Ceuta. The entire Historical Monumental Complex is declared an Asset of Cultural Interest (BIC).
Although all the civilizations that occupied Ceuta since Antiquity, proceeded to fortify these elevations (204 meters above sea level).
T he current configuration dates back to successive works planned in the 18th century by the Lieutenant General of the Corps of Engineers, Juan Caballero y Arigorri (1713 - 1797), who designed a perimeter that protects the more than 10 hectares of the top of Hacho, the highest point in Ceuta territory.
It has five bastions and as many gates, as well as 40 towers. The perimeter exceeds a kilometer and a half in length and in some sections, 26 meters in height. All of this adapted to defend against the artillery power achieved by the military technology of the 18th century.
From 1814 to 1979 it was a prison. First, General although with a preeminence of political prisoners and, since 1910, military prison.
The conditions for the inmates were very harsh, so riots frequently occurred. One of them was put down by the heroine of the Sieges of Zaragoza, Agustina de Aragón, who lived in Ceuta and was respected by the prisoners. In his honor, one of the patios was named, where, according to tradition, he successfully harangued the convicts to calm them down.
The interior of the barracks retains renovated cells, cisterns and penitentiary staff quarters. It can be visited for free, upon request by email.
The views of the city of Ceuta and the Strait of Gibraltar are spectacular.

Impresionante fortaleza en el punto más elevado del territorio de Ceuta. Todo el Conjunto Histórico Monumental está declarado Bien de Interés Cultural (BIC).
Aunque todas las civilizaciones que ocuparon Ceuta desde la Antigüedad, procedieron a la fortificación de estas elevaciones ( 204 metros sobre el nivel del mar).
L a actual configuración se remonta a sucesivas obras planificadas en el siglo XVIII por el Teniente General del Cuerpo de Ingenieros, Juan Caballero y Arigorri (1713 - 1797) quien diseñó un perímetro que protege las más de 10 hectáreas de la cima del Hacho, el punto más elevado del territorio ceutí.
Cuenta con cinco baluartes y otras tantas puertas, además de 40 torreones. El perímetro supera el kilómetro y medio de longitud y en algunos tramos, los 26 metros de altura. Todo ello adaptado para defendese de la potencia artillera alcanzada por la tecnología militar del siglo XVIII.
Desde 1814 hasta 1979 fue prisión. Primero, General aunque con preeminencia de presos políticos y, desde 1910, penal militar.
Las condiciones de los reclusos eran muy duras, por lo que con frecuencia se producían motines. Uno de ellos fue sofocado por la heroína de los Sitios de Zaragoza, Agustina de Aragón, quien residió en Ceuta y era respetada por los presos. En su honor, se nombró uno de los patios, donde, según la tradición arengó a los presidiarios para calmarles con éxito.
El interior del acuartelamiento conserva remozadas las celdas, aljibes y dependencias del personal penitenciario. Se puede visitar gratis, previa solicitud por correo electrónico.
Las vistas de la ciudad de Ceuta y del Estrecho de Gibraltar son espectaculares.

(Translated by Google) In Ceuta, capital of statues, an effigy of the Greek geographer Strabo (64 BC - 24 AD) could not be missing since in his magnum opus "Geography", describing the world known 2000 years ago, he stops to talk about the former colony phocea of Hepta Adelfoi (= seven hills) which is the Hellenistic Ceuta. Although when he wrote his "Geography", Ceuta was already a city under the rule of the Roman Empire, which called it Septem Fratres (as a literal translation of the Greek name) and from that Septem, it evolved into Septom (Byzantine), Sabta (Andalusian) and finally, Ceuta (Portuguese and Spanish).
It is a bronze bust in idealization of the first author who described the city. It is the work of the prolific Ceuta sculptor, Ginés Serrán Pagán (b. 1949).

En Ceuta, capital de las estatuas no podía faltar una efigie del geógrafo griego Estrabón (64 a.C - 24 d.C) ya que en su obra magna "Geografía", de descripción del mundo conocido hace 2000 años, se detiene a hablar de la antigua colonia focea de Hepta Adelfoi (= siete colinas) que es la Ceuta helenistica. Si bien cuando escribió su "Geografía", Ceuta ya era una ciudad bajo dominio del Imperio Romano que la denominó Septem Fratres (como traducción literal del nombre griego) y a partir de ese Septem, evoluciona a Septom (bizantino), Sabta (andalusí) y finalmente, Ceuta (portugués y castellano).

(Translated by Google) Foundation created by a group of professionals from various fields of knowledge in love with the marine environment. With the collaboration of the Port Authority of Ceuta, we decided to establish ourselves as an ideal framework for achieving different purposes and objectives.
Currently, there persists a scientific lack of knowledge about our sea and, from the Foundation, we intend to fill these historical gaps in a city that increasingly depends on the sea.

The "Monumento a Yosef Ben Yehuda" is a tribute to the remarkable figure of Josef Ben Yehuda, who was not only an esteemed Jewish astronomer and mathematician but also a dedicated physician. Born in Ceuta during its flourishing Almohad era in 1161, he became a prominent disciple of Maimonides. His contributions as a philosopher, poet, and writer enriched Hebrew literature until his passing in Aleppo in 1220.
(Translated by Google) Sculpture of the thinker Josef Ben Yehudá Ibn Aknin. Josef Ben Yehudá Ibn Aknin, born in Ceuta 1161, died in 1220 in Aleppo. He was a philosopher, poet and writer of Hebrew religion. Disciple of Maimonides and author of numerous treatises. Work by Ginés Serrán Pagán. Pagán was born in Ceuta in 1949. He is the best-known, most recognized Ceuta artist with the greatest international projection. With more than 250 exhibitions around the world, numerous awards in several countries and a multitude of works in public spaces, museums and private collections. A multifaceted artist capable of working in various styles, he owes much of his fame to his monumental bronze sculptures. Personally, I really like this sculpture by Pagán, both for its theme and for its composition and execution.

Sculpture
(Translated by Google) Tribute to a man from Ceuta who participated in the events of May 2 in Madrid. The statue dates back to the late 19th century and is the work of an Italian who worked it in Carrara marble. It seems to fairly faithfully reflect the traits of this hero. I had never heard of him.
