The Mayor of Torrevieja, Eduardo Dolón, has unveiled a monolith in the Plaza de Encarnación Puchol in La Mata. The monument is dedicated to the ‘Farmhouse’ and tower of La Mata, both of which play key roles in local history.
The farmhouse served as the residence of the administrator of the Salinas, administrative workers and soldiers who carried out the shipment of salt. The original tower collapsed in the 1802 earthquake.
