Alicante's Historic Treasures
Alicante’s history spans from the Roman ruins of Lucentum to the medieval fortifications of Santa Bárbara and San Fernando. The city’s architectural heritage includes the Gothic Basílica de Santa María and the 17th-century San Nicolás Procathedral. Beyond the center, the Huerta de Alicante features a network of defensive watchtowers, such as Torre de Santa Faz and Torre Conde, built to protect the region from 16th-century pirate raids. Memorials like the Cruz de los Caídos and Los Almendros mark more recent 20th-century history.
