Excursion to the castle of Alicante

High on top of the Benacantil Hill in Alicante and proudly boasting the title of the largest medieval fortress in Europe, sits the enthroned Castillo de Santa Barbara. For over 7000 years, Alicante had been occupied by civilizations of various origins, providing the region with diverse cultural richness and jaw-dropping architectonic structures. The first known civilization to settle in today's Alicante were the Iberians, hence Spain being referred as the “Iberian peninsula”. However, many centuries of settlers eventually led to the Roman conquest and their building of “Lucentum” - what is known today as the nucleus of the city of Alicante: el barrio de Benalua.

The castle's three enclosures are built on differing levels on the bare rock. Each holds a unique feature: the upper is the original medieval fortress enclosing the ancient Torreta (turret), the medieval walls and the King's Bastion; the middle is from the Bourbon Area and encompasses important rooms such as the Hall of Nobles, the Room of Phillip II, the Queen's Bastion and the Troops Wings'; and the lower is a XVIII rampart used today as a car park.
