Historical castles and landmarks in Alicante and Canet de Mar
The province of Alicante, Spain, features numerous historical fortifications ranging from coastal sites to inland strongholds. The Castillo de Santa Bárbara, situated on Mount Benacantil, offers views of the Alicante port and coastline. In the interior, the Castillo de la Atalaya dominates Villena with its prominent keep, while the Castillo de Biar serves as another significant landmark in the region.
In Canet de Mar, located north of Barcelona, architectural heritage is defined by Catalan Modernism. Key sites include the Casa Museo Lluís Domènech i Montaner, which houses the architect's workshop and family home, and the Castillo de Santa Florentina, a 11th-century structure renovated in the late 19th century by Domènech i Montaner.
