Attractions and activities near Alicante Railway Station

• Santa Barbara Castle: Sitting atop Mount Benacantil, Santa Barbara Castle has guarded Alicante since the 9th century. Muslims who occupied the Iberian Peninsula first utilized the fortification, but other forces later took advantage of its strategic position. The castle would be instrumental for military operations in the region until the 18th century.
  Although Santa Barbara would be sporadically used as a prison, it largely fell into decay until opening as a tourist destination in the mid-20th century. Visitors can wander the castle’s ruins, and a lift can take you to the hilltop for a fee. The views over Alicante are incredible, and you get a sense of what it was like to protect the city from invasion in the Middle Ages. 
• Basilica of St. Mary of Alicante: Built in the Middle Ages, the Basilica of St. Mary of Alicante is the oldest church in Alicante. The place of worship remains active, and its baroque style façade greets daily visitors. A large mosque once stood here, but the basilica replaced the structure around the 14th century.
  The beautiful rococo main altar dates to the 18th century, and the choir is designed in Gothic style. In between stone buttresses, you’ll find a single nave and several side chapels for visitors to conduct prayer. Don’t miss the Chapel of the Inmaculada that depicts the Virgin Mary or the gold adorning the altar.
