Santa Bárbara Castle Highlights: Must-See Features and Attractions
Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
Santa Barbara Castle was established in the 16th century, and the history of this area goes back even further. Items from the Iberian and Roman periods of the Bronze Age have been found on the mountain. Now, the castle has become a landmark of Alicante. There is an elevator on the side near the sea, but there is a charge for taking the elevator in the mountains, and it is free when you get down. There are many paths behind the castle to climb to the castle, and the top can overlook the whole city and the seaside. After coming down you can stroll around the beach, interestingly, you can see the face of a Moor when you stand at the entrance of the beach and look at the castle.

great hike, absolute spectacular views as you can see 1000% worth the experience, approx take 30-1 hour to get up there. museums as well but didn’t go in them.
The cost of the lift up to the top is very cheap and cost 5 euros for two of us to go up. It is free to walk either up or down. Amazing views of Alicante once you are at the top. There are places to sit and have a quick drink which is great for when the weather is too hot! A good way to spend a few hours during the day time of your holiday.
Santa Barbara Castle is one of Spain's most famous castles, which has been around for more than 1,000 years and is located on the high ground on the edge of Alicante Beach. Although it has been preserved for thousands of years, it is relatively intact. Standing on the castle overlooking the entire beach is really spectacular. The castle still retains the cannon of the time, which shows how important the coastal defenses were.
The best views of the city. Beautiful castle very well maintained, with nice restaurants.
Recommended for light climbing. The view from the top was the best.
The scenery is pleasant, the fun is Hang Seng, and the price is high.
