The Santa María Basilica, Alicante, Spain

---

The Santa María Basilica is the oldest church in Alicante, dating back to the 14th century. It was built upon the ruins of Alicante’s biggest mosque and has a single, non-cruciform nave with side chapels between the buttresses. Rebuilt following a fire in the 15th century. Its baroque facade is crowned by two assymetrical towers – one built in the 14th century and the other in the 18th century.
