    Spain's first Russian Orthodox church was built in Altea, in the Mascarat district. Specialists were flown in from Siberia for the construction, and they built the church, Arcangel San Miguel, in unusually mild temperatures. The building is a replica of the Russian Orthodox churches from the 17th century and all the materials for the extraordinary building come from the Urals.

    Wooden church opened in 2007. The only free-standing church in Spain under the jurisdiction of the Russian Orthodox Church. The parish to which it belongs was founded on the initiative of the Bock family - Russian immigrants who arrived in Altea in 1996.
