Santa Barbara Castle - This is one of the Europe’s biggest medieval fortresses. It is located on the peak and hillside of the Benacantil Mountain, so, from its privileged position, you can see the entire Bay of Alicante.

Cathedral of San Nicolás - It was built throughout most of the 17th century over the remains of an old mosque, although it also preserves traces of a 15th century cloister. It is of late Renaissance style, and therefore, it is sober in its external aspect.

Asegurada Museum - This is the town's oldest preserved civil building. It was built in 1685 by the Municipal Council as a corn storehouse. However, throughout its life, it has been used for a variety of purposes: it became the Town Hall headquarters while the present one was under construction; it has been a prison and a storehouse for artillery during the Peninsula War, a secondary school, a business school…

Archaeology Museum - The Archaeology Museum is located in the old Hospital of San Juan de Dios, and its exhibits span the Paleolithic to the Modern Age, with a special emphasis on Iberian art.
