The castle of Santa Bárbara reopens, from this Tuesday, its two elevators that will allow access to the fortress through Juan Bautista Lafora avenue after undergoing an exhaustive review after the forced closure due to the health situation.
The elevator hours will run from 10 am to minutes before the enclosure closes, scheduled for 8 pm. The health prevention measures in force, in line with those established by the competent authorities, limit the occupation to one third of the capacity of the elevators, which is 16 people, except in the case of people living together, with the mandatory use of a mask and the prohibition of eating or drinking. In addition, the limit of people who may remain in the access tunnel to the elevators will be a maximum of 90 users.
This solves, at least for the moment, one of the main problems that the Tourism area has been suffering since the government team agreed to transfer the powers of management of the public spaces of the castle of Santa Bárbara to the council that Directed by Mari Carmen Sánchez. It was justified for its use for the tourist promotion of the city. In fact, this monument is the most visited in Alicante, with 400,000 visits a year. However, the Department of Culture, which is managed by the mayor Antonio Manresa, will maintain its authority in the conservation and preservation of the enclave declared as an Asset of Cultural Interest (BIC) and a historical and monumental reference.
