Hi , the King`s Chapel is part of the Convent buildings just off Main St and
I would think this is perhaps a name from the Spanish time of Gibraltar
......the Rock wasn`t always British , and this convent is certainly
Catholic and I imagine the chapel with it also at one time .......but you
could try googling Spanish Chapel Gibraltar and see what happens !!!
