Esglesia de la Mare de Deu de Loreto

The Church of Our Lady of Loreto is Javea's modern fishermen's church, completed in 1967 near the port. Its bold concrete form is a sharp break from the older stone churches found elsewhere in town.

The building is most interesting for its unusual late-twentieth-century design, which evokes the ribs and hull of a boat. It makes a worthwhile architectural stop when walking around the port district.
