Descripción
· Casco Antiguo ·
The church is located in the Old Town of Altea, in the highest part of the village. It is surrounded by the old walls that defended the town, which contain different gates and streets to access it. The disappearance of old buildings allowed the square to be enlarged at the beginning of the 20th century.3 The whole architectural ensemble of the Old Quarter is integrated into one, with the Church of Nuestra Señora del Consuelo and its dome standing out above it. This is why the town is known as «The Dome of the Mediterranean»
