Castillo de Santa Barbara
Alicante 03002 - Spain

Map
From the Castillo de Santo Barbara on the hill of Mount Benacantil are spectacular views over the city of Alicante. The name is derived from the feast day of Santa Barbara in 1248 when Prince Alfonso of Castile took the hill from the Moors. Most of the present castle dates from the 16th Century. The lower part houses a contemporary sculpture exhibition. The fortress can be accessed by a lift in the rock from near El Postiguet beach.
