 The Treaty of Utrecht did not include any map or specific description of the ceded elements, so that is subject to different interpretations from each side.According to Article X of the Treaty of Utrecht, dominion is ceded over "the town and castle of Gibraltar, together with the port, fortifications, and forts thereunto belonging".Spain does not acknowledge British sovereignty over Gibraltar, as they consider that the only part that was ceded was the fortified perimeter of the city, and the rest had no territorial jurisdiction (the literal phrase of the treaty is "the Catholic King wills, and takes it to be understood that the above-named propriety be yielded to Great Britain without any territorial jurisdiction").
