The official residence of the Governor of Gibraltar since 1728, The Convent is an Early Georgian piece of magic found on Gibraltar’s main pedestrian thoroughfare. It might not look like the picture of opulence from the outside, but find your way into the dining room and you’ll find the most extensive display of heraldry in the entire Commonwealth of Nations. The large gardens out the back are particularly impressive. The official Changing of the Guard takes place a few times a year on anniversaries and special occasions.
