View of Bay and Strait of Gibraltar

The Strait of Gibraltar has been the subject of myths and legends since ancient times, the Romans believed it marked the end of the world.

Hercules is said to have created it by forcing the Atlas Mountains apart and marked the entrance with two great pillars, one on each shore. The Pillars of Hercules still stand. The Rock of Gibraltar on the European shoreline and the mountain of Jebel Musa on the African coast.
