The Santa Barbara Castle in Alicante

One of the biggest attractions in Alicante is the Santa Barbara Castle. Visiting it, you get in touch with Alicante’s fabulous millennium past. The Santa Barbara Castle waits for its tourists on the top of the spectacular Benacantil Mountain, dominating the entire landscape of the city from its privileged location. Having 166 meters in height, the Santa Barbara Castle is considered as being the most distinguished landmark that Alicante has and it is definitely one of the largest medieval fortresses found in Spain. Built in the 9th century, during the Muslim occupation of this area in Spain, the castle brings together small settlements that existed since the time of the Iberians and the Romans. Christians conquered it in 1248 and kept it the way it is today. Hundreds of tourists follow the picturesque road that takes them through narrow streets and old whitewashed houses full of flowers in order to enjoy the breathtaking views over the city and over the bay offered by the castle. Then, they visit the dungeons, the walls and the towers and they enjoy the journey into the past. You should definitely be one of Santa Barbara Castle’s visitors!

The San Fernando Castle

The San Fernando Castle is smaller than the Santa Barbara Castle; dating back to the beginning of the 19th century, this castle was built on the top of the Tossal Hill and its purpose was to defend Alicante from the French invasion. Now, the castle represents a great sightseeing spot and a place for leisure and relaxation. You have to climb a set of stairs in order to reach it, but once you are there, make sure you visit its gates, especially the Lion gate and its walls, as the feeling is a very unique one! Consider Alicante as destination for one of your holidays, as I assure you that it has many things to offer!
