The Plaza Alta, the social center of the city, traditional houses, important monuments such as the Parochial Church of Nuestra Señora de la Palma and the small Chapel of Nuestra Señora de Europa can be visited in Algeciras. Algeciras’ heritage in buildings is completed with the City Hall, the Market Place, the Chapel of Santo Cristo de la Alameda and the Chapel of San Antón, which makes up a harmonious ensemble with the Hospital de la Caridad. With settlements dating from the lower Palaeolithic period, this is also an area where Phoenician and Carthaginian colonies once stood.
