Santa Barbara's Castle Free Tour

Overview of the tour in Alicante

Until the XIX century, Alicante was a military city, an important gateway to the rest of Spain. Its strategic position has been crucial to its history and the reason why the city has been attacked so many times. However, the city of Alicante was never considered conquered until the Castle of Santa Bárbara was officially taken. That's why, the Castle has been witness to invasions, uprisings, betrayals, explosions and imprisonments during its more than a thousand years of history.

Learn about the history, legends and curiosities of the Castle, while enjoying the best views of the city and amazing sunsets.

During this essential Free Tour in Alicante, we will surprise you with stories, legends and secrets from the Muslims times, when the Castle was built, until the modern times; how it has evolved and how it was destroyed and rebuilt.
