The church of Santa María del Mar is located on the neighborhood of Duanes del Mar, old fishing village in the coastal town of Jávea, in Alicante. Unveiled in June, 1967, it is a notable example of religious architecture on the leading edge.
It was designed by the architect’s firm GO-DB, which is leaded by the architects Fernando Martínez García-Ordóñez and Juan María Dexeus Beatty, in partnership with the civil engineer Claudio Gómez-Perretta, who is the author of the structural calculus.
The structure, which is made of reinforced concrete executed in situ, consists of 12 weight bearing walls and 12 external pilasters. These pilasters support the weight bearing walls as well as the roof, which seen from below, reminds of the hull of a ship. The same concrete that defines the structure, also shapes the building itself, as well as the enclosure, without any additional elements, standing out because of its beauty and the finishing of the wall coverings, achieved by the combination of different textures.
