Other historical sites in Alicante include the Basilica of Santa Maria, which dates back through to the 14th century, the 15th century monastery of Santa Fez, and the 18th century convent of Canonigas de San Agustin. There are a number of beautiful parks in the area, as well. El Palmeral Park is a favoured park that has plenty of trails, playgrounds, and picnic facilities as well as an auditorium on site. Furthermore, of note is the LEreta Park, which is located along the way to the Castle of Santa Barbara. Museums abound in Alicante.
