This did not materialise in the form originally requested, but a colossal statue of General Eliott, carved from the bowsprit of the Spanish man-o-war San Juan, taken at Trafalgar was placed at the top of the Heathfield Steps, leading up to the south of Grand Parade. That statue was taken to the Convent, the Governor&#039;s residence, where it stands today, when a bronze bust of General Eliott replaced it in 1858. It stands on a marble pillar and was presented to Gibraltar by a descendant of the General. Like elsewhere in Gibraltar, sites within the gardens have been used to display examples of guns in Gibraltar or connected with British military history. Thus around Eliott&#039;s column are placed three 10 inch howitzers made in 1783 and one 8 inch howitzer dating from 1778.";

His Ulysses (1922) parallels Homer’s Odyssey, and Molly Bloom in Ulysses is equated with Penelope in The Odyssey.  The last chapter Ulysses, one of the most renowned pieces of writing, is dedicated solely to her meanderings and musings. Molly was raised in the military atmosphere of Gibraltar by her father and never knew her mother. Molly is thus associated with the “hot-blooded” Mediterranean regions. Yet Molly considers her own childhood to have been normal, outside the dramatic entrances and exits of young, good-looking soldiers going off to war. She seems to organise her life around men, with very few female friends.  She was a visitor to these Gardens.Material courtesy of the James Joyce Centre";mylan["499hsVoucher1"]="";mylan["496hsName1"]="The Alameda Open Air Theatre";mylan["496hssubTitle1"]="";mylan["496hsDesc1"]="The Alameda Open Air Theatre";mylan["496hsVoucher1"]="";mylan["493hsName1"]="The Dell";mylan["493hssubTitle1"]="";mylan["493hsDesc1"]="The DellLaid out by a Genoese gardener in 1842 this Italian style garden was restored in 1992.
