Basilica of St Mary of Alicante

We visited the Basilica of Santa María in Alicante and explored it both inside and out. It’s a pleasant and well-kept historic church with a calm, respectful atmosphere. The exterior is simple yet elegant, and the interior feels peaceful, making it a nice stop while walking around the Old Town. Not overly grand, but definitely worth a short visit for its history and setting.

Beautiful Basilica, atmospheric, wonderful alter. The audio guides were easy to use and gave just the right amount of information. You can walk up lots of steps to the belfry but a good level of fitness is required.

Get a ticket and a guided visit! The history is very interesting, details and information very well presented. You can also access the bell tower and enjoy the city views. You need at least 45 minutes to complete the full visit and spare some time at the top of the bell tower… no rush.

Located in the heart of the old town, this is the city’s oldest church and main Catholic basilica. Built in the late 14th century after the Reconquista on the site of a former Almohad mosque, it stands as a historic and spiritual landmark where Gothic and Baroque styles coexist beautifully.

Ticket: €6 An excellent basilica to visit! Be sure to take the stairs up to see the bells and enjoy a beautiful panoramic view of the city — a truly memorable experience.

Very cheap and cool, full of gold and nice place to come and pray, extremely incredible views, and has an awesome guide telephone. I love it, you must come to visit if you like big churches.

The Basilica of St. Mary in Alicante is beautiful! The architecture is stunning, and it's really easy to get in and walk around. Peaceful atmosphere and definitely worth a quick visit if you're in the area.

Had to wait cause there was a wedding on but hey that's cool Nice views from up the bell tower 6 euros entry so not too bad
