엘체/엘렉스‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪12‬개의 동굴

Carrer de la Diagonal del Palau, 7, 03202 Elx, Alicante, 스페인

The large replica of the Dama de Elche in front of the palace was no longer to be found here in November 2025.

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.

It's worth going up the castle just for the views that accompany us along the way. I recommend entering from Eret Park. P.S. Admission to the castle is free :)

Towers over the city and is a great destination on foot (a good 160 meters high) or for a few euros by elevator or taxi. The Santa Barbara Castle dates back to the 11th century and has been expanded or rebuilt several times in the years since.

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.

The Castillo de Guardamar is a historic fortification in the town of Guardamar del Segura. The castle was built by the Moors in the 12th century on a hill overlooking the coastline and the hinterland. It was strategically located to protect the region from possible attacks. The castle suffered severe damage in 1829 from an earthquake that destroyed much of the structure. Today only ruins remain, but these have been lovingly restored and are open to the public. Visitors can walk through the remains of the walls, enjoy the views of the surrounding valley and coast, and learn about the fortress's turbulent history. The hill on which the castle stands offers wonderful views over the region.

The Palace of Altamira or Alcázar de la Señoría, is located in the northwest corner of the old medieval Muslim medina. Three phases can be distinguished in its construction: the Almohad, the work of the 15th and 16th centuries, and the 18th century, which corresponds to the south façade, a two-story residence that was attached to the Count of Altamira and which hides the medieval access, with entrance from the Vinalopó river. The great Tower of Homage housed monarchs - Jaime II, Pedro IV, Alfonso III and the Catholic Monarchs - and the meetings of the General Council of the town until the 15th century. A new rehabilitation has allowed the Archaeological and History Museum of Elche Alejandro Ramos Folqués to be opened in the palace and in the basement of the square, exposing the archeology of the territory, up to the Visigothic period and the history of the city since its creation from the Muslim medina of Ils to the present day.
