Question: Where in Florida can you find the Prudential Building’s Rock of Gibraltar?
Answer: Jacksonville
In 1955, Prudential Company completed its newest offices, a sprawling 22-story building that was both the largest insurance office in the Southeastern United States and the first skyscraper built in Jacksonville since the end of World War II.
Inspired by the company motto, “Prudential Has The Strength of Gibraltar,” the British Navy transported a two-and-a-half-ton chunk of the Rock of Gibraltar to the new office building on January 7, 1995, and gifted it to the city of Jacksonville.
