Medieval fortress, dating from the eleventh century, overlooking the historic city of Alicante and offering beautiful views of the bay.

Dominating the historic city, the medieval fortress dating from the th century is the work of the Arabs. However, the castle bears track of all the peoples who settled in the city and most of the current construction dates back to the th century. This fortress is defended by three speakers, built at different heights and at three different periods. The outstanding, the outstanding, contains the oldest vestiges of the fortress, mostly dating back to the th century. The environment has the largest outbuildings, built in the th century, including the Philippe II lounge, the bodyguard, the court of arms, the collection patio. In the lower enclosure, built in the th century, we will find the ravelin or half-moon, an element of classic military Fortification called Revellín del bon repós. Some very didactic animations are planned. They focus on children, but are welcome for everyone. At the top of the fortress you will enjoy magnificent views over the bay of Alicante. By car or by foot, you can reach the castle by a lift dug in the rock, opposite the Postiguet beach. The hotel was very close to the train station and the train station. Before taking the lift, don't miss a look at the castle's rock. You mentioned the shape of a face, a profile. It's cara del moro, the face of the Moorish, one of the emblematic images of the city.

Voilà déjà plusieurs fois que je retourne à Alicante et à chaque fois une visite du château s'impose.
Il y a un beau chemin de promenade à partir du centre, vous passez dans de petites ruelles étroites très typiques. C'est un endroit magnifique où vous serez charmés par la vue une fois en haut du château!

Je recommande tout particulièrement la balade pour le chateau de Santa Barbara, la montée à travers la barrio alto d'alicante est vraiment très jolie et la vue depuis le chateau est imprenable sur la mer et sur la ville.

le château surplombe la ville et depuis la terrasse on a un superbe panorama sur Alicante et son port. cela vaut le détour et la montée en ascenseur est idéale.
