Russian Orthodox Church of San Miguel Arcangel Altea - Local name: Iglesia Ortodoxa de San Miguel Arcángel. The wooden church was opened in 2007. It is the only freestanding 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 came to Altea in 1996.

Búnquer de la Platja de l'Olla
Highlight • Historical Site
On the beaches of L'Olla and Cap Negret in Altea are located the last two remaining machine gun bunkers in Altea. These bunkers, built in 1937 by the Republican Army during the Spanish Civil War, are an important part of the region's history and a tourist attraction for visitors.
Originally, up to 8 of these bunkers were built, designed to protect the entire coast of Altea (beaches of L'Albir, Altea, and Mascarat) from possible sea attacks by fascist allies, whether Spanish, Italian, or German. According to anecdote, they were never used and were simply abandoned.
In military terminology, this type of defensive installation is called a casemate. They were built of concrete, and some of them were the work of Mateu Signes, a builder from Altea. The dimensions of these machine gun nests are 5 m long and 4 m wide. The height of the bunkers is 1.85 m, with walls about 70 cm wide, although there are differences between individual bunkers. Inside the bunkers, the machine guns (which were never installed) protrude through windows or loopholes.
With the restoration of the bunkers on the beach of Altea, there are already many historical monuments that the Altea City Council has valued and restored in recent years, such as the Molí dels Moros, the old washhouse of Altea, the Portal Nou, or the Municipal Historical Archive.
