Alicante has managed to preserve much of its history in the remains of centuries old buildings around the province. Castillo de Santa Bárbara is just 7 minutes along Avenida de Jaime II with a cheap car rental in Alicante Airport Spain. This 9th century castle was used as Alicante’s fortification site. Iberian, Roman and bronze artifacts were found on the slopes of Mount Benacantil, where it stands.

The city also has a number of church dating back to the 14th century. Iglesia de Santa Maria is located 6 minutes from Castillo de Santa Barbara and is near the bay.
