Top 10 attractions in Alicante
Castle of Santa Barbara
Santa Barbara Castle was established in the 16th century, and the history of this area goes back even further. Items from the Iberian and Roman periods of the Bronze Age have been found on the mountain. Now, the castle has become a landmark of Alicante. There is an elevator on the side near the sea, but there is a charge for taking the elevator in the mountains, and it is free when you get down. There are many paths behind the castle to climb to the castle, and the top can overlook the whole city and the seaside. After coming down you can stroll around the beach, interestingly, you can see the face of a Moor when you stand at the entrance of the beach and look at the castle.Alicante · 1.2 km from downtown

Plaza de toros de Alicante
The idea of building a bullring in Alicante arose in the early 19th century. Designed by the architect José Guardiola Picó, construction began in 1847 and was completed in 1888. Its construction was a monumental achievement in itself, given the technical challenges of the time and the complexity of bullfighting architecture. The Alicante Bullring features vernacular architecture, characterized by the influence of architectural elements from that era. This style is evident in the semicircular arches, the windows, and the ornamental details that adorn the façade and the interior of the bullring.Alicante · 907m from downtown
