The Castle of Santa Bárbara was the origin of the Muslim city of Alicante. It has three construction periods and explains the most important events that the city has experienced, from the Muslim conquest to the Spanish Civil War. We will pass through the Puerta de la Santa Faz to reach the "matxo" of the castle (the upper part), and then you will enjoy a drink on one of the most magical terraces in the city.
