Nun's Well is an ancient underground water reservoir in the British Overseas Territory of Gibraltar. It is located at Europa Point, and is thought to be of the Moorish period. It represents some of the earliest evidence of an artificial water supply in Gibraltar. The name of the cistern is thought to be derived from the nuns associated with the Shrine of Our Lady of Europe. In the eighteenth century, Nun's Well supplied the military with water. In the early nineteenth century, it provided water for the brewery that was built next door. In 1988, the Royal Engineers constructed what is now the main building, which has a castle-like appearance. Nun's Well became the focus of controversy during the 2010-2011 restoration of the site.

El nombre de la cisterna se cree que se deriva de las monjas asociadas con el Santuario de Nuestra Señora de Europa. En el siglo XVIII, El pozo de las Monjas suministró agua a los militares. A principios del siglo XIX, proporcionó agua para la fábrica de cerveza que fue construida al lado. En 1988, los ingenieros reales construyeron lo que hoy es el edificio principal, que tiene un aspecto de castillo. El edificio se convirtió en el centro de la polémica durante la restauración de (es)
