Description

At the top of Mount Benacantil stands the imposing Castle of Santa Barbara. We will meet at the Patio de Armas at the agreed time to start this Free Tour through one of the most grandiose medieval fortresses in Spain.

Over the course of two hours, we will go back in time to the Muslim era to explore the history of the castle from its foundations. As we walk through emblematic places such as the Torre del Homenaje, the Torre de Santa Catalina or the cistern, we will unravel rebellions, betrayals and conflicts that have left their mark within these walls. Do you know which king starred in a fight to the death in this scenario?

This tour would not be complete without immersing ourselves in the legends of wandering ghosts and love stories that have come to life here. What tragic event gave the castle's skyline the name "La Cara del Moro"? You'll have to wait until the day of the tour to find out.

Beyond being a living testimony of the history of Alicante, the Castle of Santa Barbara is an essential visit. Its position at 166 meters above sea level makes it the perfect place to enjoy panoramic views of the bay of Alicante and its surroundings.

After two hours of fascinating exploration, we will say goodbye having unveiled every nook and cranny of the history of Santa Barbara Castle.

Duration: 2 hours
