Why is there a red castle on the flag of Gibraltar?

The Gibraltar flag with its two horizontal white and red stripes is a rather special flag with its red castle with three towers and its golden key as the central design of the flag.

It is one of the flags of the world that is decorated with buildings among many others like the national flags of Afghanistan, the Spanish flag, the flag of Portugal or San Marino and the only flag in the world to display a still existing building: the flag of Cambodia with the temple of Angkor Wat.

This flag features the ancient coat of arms of Gibraltar granted by Ferdinand II of Aragon and Queen Isabella of Spain to this territory. The design of the castle is purely symbolic and it represents Gibraltar as a real fortress, while the key suspended from the main door of the castle embodies the strategic position of the Strait of Gibraltar, considered as the "key to the Mediterranean". Today, this possession of the United Kingdom since 1704, which links the Atlantic Ocean to the Mediterranean Sea, is also claimed by Spain!

The Territory of Gibraltar, which is under the domination of the British Crown, like the other British Overseas Territories (St Helena, Montserrat, Pitcairn Islands, Anguilla, Cayman Islands), therefore officially carries the Union Jack (the flag of the United Kingdom). Moreover, it is the only civilian flag of the overseas territories of the UK that does not consist of a Red Ensign or a Blue Ensign (the flags of colours with the Union Flag in the canton).
