Gunpowder came to Europe in the late 13th century. The first guns appeared along side. To clarify your question, 'gun' can refer to either artillery/cannons or small arms. The first small arms (i.e. hand cannon) appeared in the 14th Century.

Records show that Gunpowder was being made in the Tower of London from as early as 1346.

It wasn't until 1605 though that Guy Fawkes tried to blow up parliament with gunpowder.

It was Spain, for Spain was always in contact with the Moors (North African Muslims) who introduced gunpowder to them.

What were the first guns made?

You need to make a distinction between 'guns' and 'small arms'. 'Guns' typically refer to artillery or cannons. 'Small arms' typically refer to rifles and handguns. There is no name or model for the first of any of these. In Europe, the first cannons appeared in the 13th century alongside gunpowder. Both had been in existence in Asia and Arabia prior. Small arms in Europe (hand cannon) first appeared in the mid-to-late 14th century.
