MUCH of modern Altea is spread along the seafront, but when taken from the Moors in 1244 it was mostly a hilltop settlement.
The Virgen del Consuelo (Virgin of the Consolation) Church was erected in the1600s, and quickly became a local landmark.

| The church was at least partly built with defence in mind |
