El Tossal de Manises is the site of the Roman town of Lucentum, the ancient city of Alicante. It is located on top of a hill (tossal) near to the coast and at a height of 38 metres above sea level. It is in the La Albufereta area of Alicante, about 3.5 kilometres from the modern day city centre. The entire urban area of Lucentum (around 25,000 m²) has survived today and is surrounded by a perimeter wall, some 600 metres long. Since 1961 the site has been declared a Monument of Historic and Artistic Importance. The origins of the site date back to the end of the 5th or beginnings of the 4th century BC, although little of this early occupation is actually known. However, at the end of the 3rd century BC significant changes occurred to the site. Fortifications were built which completely surrounded the site with towers and in some stretches, an antemural. This fortification would change the nature of the settlement site forever, and would determine its physical characteristics and extent of later building work and the Roman town. This first urban phase was destroyed around 200 BC and el Tossal went through a long period of abandonment and decline. This began to change at the end of the 3rd century BC which is indicated by the evidence of a new period of construction in which the town walls were rebuilt. From the middle of the 1st century BC important building works were begun, during which time the entire urban street plan was restructured. During the rule of Augustus, the first Roman Emperor, the town acquired the status of municipium which meant that it governed itself and had its own magistrates and institutions of a clearly Roman nature. This is when the name of Lucentum is first recorded epigraphically and historically. At the end of the 1st century BC and throughout the 1st century AD the town enjoyed a prosperous period which is represented by various building works. These included the forum, two public bath houses, a new port, the sewage system, at least one temple, and the extension of the urban area outside the town walls. At the end of the 1st century AD the first signs of decline appeared. This was the beginning of a period which would culminate with the abandonment and disappearance of the town in the 3rd century AD. After a period of various and sporadic use during which the site was used as a source for building materials, the area was once again occupied. Between the 8th and 10th centuries AD the site became a maqbara or cemetery, defined by Islamic funerary rites.

Lighthouse located in Cabo de las Huertas. It was built on the remains of an old lookout tower. Beneath it there are some of the best coves of Alicante's coast. It is 9 meters high and has a focal height of 38 meters.

The Carbonell House was built in 1925. The Alicante architect J. Vidal designed what symbolizes the architecture of his first epoch in one of the greatest constructions of the beginning of the 20th century bourgeoisie. The building occupies a complete block, overlooking the sea and has a facade with a sublime quality. All thanks to an urban reorganization that was possible because the city market moved to a different place. It is built in front of the Caa Lamagniere building that Vidal himself designed in the previous decade. The distribution of Casa Carbonell is divided into two double cores of stairs that serve two houses per floor. These turn to two interior patios that give natural light to the homes described. The main façade is where the living rooms and the bedrooms are located, and the domestic rooms are located at the opposite side of the house. The composition of the main façade is symmetrical and bounded by the viewpoints at the ends, with the advanced bodies of the dining rooms located on the access gates and topped by the domes. The whole is dressed with a large cast of historicist motifs. The noble materials used (sandstone in the socle, marble in the foyer, iron and glass in locksmiths and canopies, or the simulated cover slate) and the eclectic mastery of the formal repertoire, define its image of bourgeois and cosmopolitan architecture. Even today this building captures the attention of those who come to the Explanada (promenade) of Alicante. Enrique Carbonell, who ordered and financed the construction of this building, was one of Alcoy's textile industrialists who were enriched by the First World War, due to the strong demand for textile cloths to standardize the French army. Said industrialist had the intention of spending long periods in the city of Alicante, because this climate was better for his sick daughter. It is said that on one occasion, a mishap during his trip from Alcoy to Alicante made Carbonell arrive very dirty in the capital, so, with the intention of cleaning and staying, he requested a room at the luxurious Hotel Palace. The hotel denied his entrance, because of his appearance, and they say that in revenge for the treatment received, the proud Carbonell had a building built next to the hotel but much more magnificent, eclipsing the image of the hotel that underestimated him. The same year the works were completed, Casa Carbonell was also news because a seaplane from Algiers crashed into the terrace of one of its domes, which sank a floor and cost the lives of the two crewmembers of the aircraft. Currently, this building is still one of the most striking ones in Alicante, and is photographed in a large number of tourist postcards of the city, next to the Explanada, the Port and the Castle of Santa Bárbara.

On top of Mount Benacantil there is the Castle of Santa Bárbara. In one of the sides of the mountain there is one of those curious formations that nature offers us. The shape of face is perfectly recognizable from several points of the city, and there are many legends and stories that are told about this curious face that is watching Alicante from the top.

Mandatory visit in the city of Alicante, the "Mercado Central" (Central Market) is built on a metal and brick structure, with its main facade dominated by a large staircase, framed by two protruding bodies. Both to buy fresh food (meat, fish, fruits, etc.) and to participate in the "tardeo" from Alicante (people in Alicante usually go out during the afternoon, starting in the noon, and having drinks and tapas in different places), it is a place of reference.

The Sanctuary of Pla de Petracos, located in the municipality of Castell de Castells, constitutes one of the most outstanding examples in whole Europe of Macro schematic art and has been declared Site of Cultural Interest and Heritage of Humanity. The importance of this site has led the Provincial Government of Alicante to assess its value improving its spreading elements, its protection measures, and the access gates to this site. The works started on the 3rd of March 1998. The provincial institution of Alicante promotes through the Provincial Archaeological Museum (Museo Arqueológico Provincial, MARQ) a program of Cave art routes, which, under the supervision of the Autonomous Administration and in co-operation with the municipality of Castell de Castells, aims at improving the protection given to artistic expressions. Simultaneously, it pretends to boost its general attention, facilitating its access ways and installing explanatory panels. The site of Pla de Petracos takes its name from its location. This site is made up of a number of shelter woods and a cave located on the left strip of the Barranc de Malafí, within a geographical frame demarcated by the sea and the mountain ranges of Aitana, Mariola and Benicadell. It can be accessed through a track that starts on kilometre 7 of the road from Benichembla to Castells de Castells. This track communicates the site with the municipality of La Vall d'Ebo. The site is located 500 metres s/n/m, its mapping coordinates being 38º 45' 38" latitude N. and 03º 30' 19" longitude East from the meridian of Madrid. Discovered in 1980, it is made up of eight shelter woods. Of these, five of them show paintings in a perfectly visible vivid red. Four of them are close to each other and show art depictions of Macro schematic art, an artistic expression from the most ancient Neolithic Age. The fifth painting is an artistic expression of the Levante region of Spain, chronologically subsequent to the expressions of Macro schematic Art The depiction of the human figure constitutes its main subject matter. Amongst them, the prayers have to be highlighted, who are stretching out their arms above their heads. Opposite it, a few metres from the rocky wall, a large stone protrudes on the ground, which may be related to the meaning of these pictorial representations.
