The Alicante fortress thus closes this travelling exhibition that opened at the MARQ in 2015 and can be visited until 13 October.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-left:0cm; margin-right:0cm; text-align:justify\"><span style=\"font-size:12pt\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Verdana&quot;,sans-serif\"><span style=\"color:black\">The 84 selected castles, which are explained on exhibition panels, are grouped into five routes, coinciding with the regions of Alicante: <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align:justify\"><span style=\"font-size:12pt\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Verdana&quot;,sans-serif\">La Clau del Regne, in l'Alacanti. One of the strongest bastions of the kingdom of Aragon and its main entrance to control possible Castilian offensives by land or sea in the 14th century.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align:justify\">&nbsp;<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align:justify\"><span style=\"font-size:12pt\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Verdana&quot;,sans-serif\">The castles of the inland border, centred on the Vinalop\u00f3 Valley.
