Sehenswert und prunkvoll.

Die Fassade hat zwei Glockentürme, von denen der linke höher ist.

Das Innere der Kirche ist durch barocke Dekorationen und vergoldete Blumenmotive gekennzeichnet.

Hervorzuheben sind die vielfarbigen Holzfiguren des Heiligsten Christus des Tabernakels und Unserer Lieben Frau des Trostes , Es gibt verschiedene Mythen über den Heiligen Christus und seine Ankunft in der Kirche von Altea, die seit mindestens zweihundert Jahren in der Gesellschaft von Altea präsent sind, aber sie entsprechen nicht der Realität der Ereignisse.

Der Kult des Bildes Unserer Lieben Frau vom Trost, das der Kirche ihren Namen gibt, wurde sicherlich von den Augustinerorden eingeführt , die im 17. Jahrhundert in dieser Gegend wichtige kirchliche Ämter innehatten.

1604 wurde die befestigte Stadt mit Mauern und einer Burg fertiggestellt. Der Bau der Kirche, deren Bau ursprünglich nicht geplant war, wurde 1607 von den Architekten Pere und Damià de la Càmara begonnen. Im Jahr 1617, dem Jahr der Unterzeichnung der Gründungsurkunde der Stadt, wurde ihr Bau abgeschlossen und im Jahr 1640 wurde sie zur Pfarrei erklärt . Dieses erste Bauwerk wies keine nennenswerte architektonische und künstlerische Schönheit auf, wurde jedoch in den Komplex der Stadtfestung eingefügt und behielt die defensive und schlichte Bauweise bei.

Die Kirche verfiel zunehmend und wurde dermaßen vernachlässigt, dass es Anfang des 18. Jahrhunderts zu Initiativen für ihre Erhaltung kam. Zwischen 1854 und 1856 wurde eine freistehende Kapelle mit dem Namen Santísimo Cristo errichtet , die später mit der Kirche verbunden wurde. Doch erst in der zweiten Hälfte des 19. Jahrhunderts begann im Zuge der gesellschaftlichen Veränderungen in der Stadt die Kirche, wie wir sie heute sehen, Gestalt anzunehmen. Die Bastionen und die Burg würden einstürzen, wie Schriften wie das „ Geographisch-statistisch-historische Wörterbuch von Spanien und seinen überseeischen Besitzungen “ von Pascual Madoz zwischen 1845 und 1850 sowie andere Skizzen und Zeichnungen seiner Zeitgenossen belegen.

So begannen die Bauarbeiten im Jahr 1901 unter der Leitung des Priesters Don Juan Bautista Cremades Peiró und dauerten bis 1910. Das Projekt wurde dem Architekten Adrián Vela Gadea und seinem Bruder Julio Vela Gadea überlassen . Am 18. September 1910 wurde die neue Kirche von José Beneyto y Beneyto geweiht. Später, zwischen 1980 und 1989, wurden Restaurierungsarbeiten durchgeführt. Der Komplex gilt seit 2007 als Kulturgut von lokaler Bedeutung , sowohl aufgrund seiner Architektur als auch aufgrund der Identifikation der Stadt mit ihm, und seit 2013 gilt das „ Baluard i Nucli históric renaixentista d'Altea “, in dem sich die Kirche befindet,...

A tranquil peaceful place for a visit for those who enjoy culture , art & history & for those of faith , who may want to light a candle & take prayer . The architecture here is stunning along with the many religious antiquities & artifacts , which are here on display & are very well preserved & the colours are still vibrant on the painted statues after many years . I have enclosed some pictures along with this review & you will see the outstanding craftsmanship of the artisans who created the sculptures & the paintings they are truly incredible ! . I'm sure should you visit you will be amazed by the churches beauty & like myself perhaps light a candle for a prayer & a blessing for a loved one , a really humbling & spiritual experience for myself upon my visit & perhaps should you visit you may feel the same . A must place visit for those of faith & those who appreciate...

Santa Maria del Consol d’Altea – A Peaceful Gem in a Charming Town

Absolutely loved my visit to Santa Maria del Consol in Altea. The church is a stunning piece of architecture with its iconic blue domes and peaceful atmosphere. The surrounding neighborhood is incredibly charming—clean, quiet, and full of friendly locals who add so much warmth to the place.

The walk up is lovely, and once you’re there, the views are breathtaking. It’s a perfect spot to pause, take in the scenery, and soak up the relaxed vibe of Altea.

A must-visit if you’re in the area—it’s not just about the church, but the entire experience of this beautiful little corner of Spain....

After the stepped walk up through the old town, the top opens out to a wide plaza. The church is the focal point of the square and is very imposing. On a clear, sunny day in March, with a cool breeze, it was a spectacular end to the ascent. Not too many people about but enough to give the area a friendly buzz/vibe. The church was free to enter and was quietly impressive. Unfortunately the museum appeared to be closed today, roped off, we would have gone in otherwise (for the small charge). I would definitely recommend.

A small walk in a upwards direction, bought me out to this wonderful hidden square. Through a few narrow streets and tiled walkways and passing some great viewing spots of Altea on the way. I was lucky to see a wedding taking place at the church today and after this, walking around the lovely church itself. This and the little bar ( doing great apple pie) to the top left of the church, made the uphill walk very much worth it.
