The Castle of Santa Bárbara is located at the summit of Mount Benacantil, 166 meters above sea level. It is home to one of the largest medieval fortresses in Spain, from which you can see the bay of Alicante perfectly.
The lower enclosure dates back to the 18th century and is home to the so-called Revellín del Bon Repós.

The Castillo de Santa Bárbara is located on the approximately 166m high Benacantil mountain, high above the Mediterranean Sea from which you have a beautiful view of Alicante.
The castle of Santa Bárbara is more than 1,000 years old, the oldest part dates from the 11th, 12th and 13th centuries. The other part of the castle was only built after the Middle Ages.
This castle was used as a prison until 1962.

You can get to the castle by elevator from the beach or by car (parking spaces are limited). From the top you have a beautiful view over Alicante, there is a restaurant and a kiosk is also available.
