    It is located at Calle Noray, nº1, within the Altea Hills residential development (Altea, Alicante), right on the N-332 highway, between Altea and Calpe.

    It is the first Russian Orthodox church built in Spain and on the entire Iberian Peninsula, following traditional Russian wooden architecture.

    The foundation stone was laid on November 21, 2002, by Bishop Michael (Storogenko).

    Its consecration took place on November 11, 2007, officiated by Metropolitan Kirill (Gundiayev).

    Built entirely of wood from the Russian Ural Mountains, both structure and ornamentation.

    The interior is notable for its gilded iconostasis, altarpieces, and beeswax candles, maintaining Orthodox tradition.
