The papal representative to Gibraltar since 2023 has been the Nuncio to Great Britain, Miguel Maury Buendía.

[1] After the definite Spanish conquest of 1468, Gibraltar formed part of the diocese of Cádiz and Algeciras.

Juan Romero de Figueroa, the Spanish priest in charge of the Parish Church of St. Mary the Crowned (who remained in the town when most of the population left the city in 1704), was the first Vicar General of the town, as appointed by the Bishop of Cádiz.

[2] The Vicariate Apostolic of Gibraltar was eventually erected in 1816, thus transferring the relationship from Cádiz to Rome.

John Baptist Nosardy Zino was the first Vicar Apostolic of Gibraltar, appointed on 25 January 1816.
