The lighthouse that faces the bay from the Cape San Antonio it was the successor of other defensive and religious constructions that took advantage of the privileged situation of the plain. The hermits chose it to isolate themselves from worldly life and thus, in their honor, the hermitage of San Antonio was built in the XNUMXth century, which ended up giving its name to the geographical feature. Its land was also occupied by the monastery of San Jerónimo, as well as by watchtowers erected to defend against pirate raids, constructions that gave rise to the current lighthouse. This viewpoint is, without a doubt, one of the most privileged settings on the Alicante coastline.
