Other features at the square include Duke of Kent House home to the Gibraltar Tourist Board,[2] the Bristol Hotel[3] a children's play park and Sir Herbert Miles Promenade, which is a boulevard lined with nine cannon overlooking the harbour.[4] The open space here was once a street called Columbine Street which was named after lieutenant-general Francis Columbine who was a deputy governor. The Moorish looking Cathedral dates from 1839 when the Church of the Holy Trinity was redefined. It had been designed by a military engineer for John Pitt, 2nd Earl of Chatham as a church in 1825.[5] References1. ^{{citation |title=Cruising the Mediterranean: A Guide to the Ports of Call |page=180 |author=Larry H.
