Detailed ICAH Logo

Founded in 2025, the International Centre for Atlantic History in Gibraltar is a non-profit organization dedicated to providing an academic platform for the dissemination of Atlantic history. As Europe’s southernmost Atlantic port, situated at the crossroads of two continents and the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea, Gibraltar plays a crucial role, connecting British and Spanish, as well as Jewish, Muslim, and Christian cultures.

As the southernmost Atlantic port, the choice of Gibraltar as the seat of the newly founded centre seems ideal to us. In addition, Gibraltar is located at the intersection with the Mediterranean and Atlantic-Mediterranean Africa, which means that the impact of the Atlantic on these regions is profound and can be perfectly explored.
