Sight 1: Castell de Santa Bàrbara

Show sight on map

Santa Bárbara Castle is a fortification in the center of Alicante, Spain. It stands on Mount Benacantil bordering the sea, which gave it enormous strategic value since from it you can see the entire bay of Alicante and its land surroundings. The image of the mountain from the beach resembles a face, which is why it is called "the face of the Moor" and is an icon of the city of Alicante.
