Castillo de San Fernando once served as a prison and provides an interesting afternoon for those who wish to discover it.

If you want to inject more culture into your trip, spend some time visiting Alicante's offering of museums and art galleries like the Archaeological Museum brimming with 80,000 artefacts or the Gravina Museum of Fine Arts set across three floors.
