This building, known as "the little castle," is located on private land near Route 1.

A good alternative... less touristy and crowded... compared to the Santa Barbara Fortress. Wonderful views of the hinterland and the mountains, the city districts, and even the sea.

The San Fernando Castle, located in Alicante, is a fortress built in the 19th century during the War of Independence against the French. It is located on Monte Tossal and was designed by the military engineer Pablo Ordovás y Sastre. The castle has an irregular design adapted to the topography of the hill and has several bastions and curtains with a broken layout. Although it was built for defensive purposes, it never entered active military service. During the Spanish Civil War, it was used as a concentration camp by Franco's troops. Today, the San Fernando Castle is a place of historical and cultural interest, surrounded by the Monte Tossal Park and other points of interest such as the Alicante sports city and the Óscar Esplá music conservatory.

Ruins of a fortress from the early 19th century located on Mount Tossal. The path up is a bit challenging (slope, stairs) but fun. The view gets better with every meter. It is best to walk to the castle early, when there is hardly any traffic.

The chapel is beautiful, but the view you can enjoy from here is even better. It's worth the effort, the view from "above" is amazing.

Petrer Castle is a fortification of Muslim origin built in the 12th century on top of the old part of the city. Its silhouette, visible from afar, is very picturesque due to its large square crenellated tower.

The castle of Muslim origin has almost completely disappeared and next to the rest of its walls is the reformed hermitage of San Pedro. Both are located at the top of the hill, obtaining the best views of the mountains and Agost.
