Torre del Moro

3.5

Its plant is circular, with a trococonic shape and is built with masonry. It has suffered various repairs throughout history, among the last two of which are the ones made in 1960 and the one in 1994. The first corresponds to the original construction to a greater extent, with a spiral staircase until it reaches its upper part. In the 1994 restoration the previous remains are modified and a almond tower is built in which the shield of the city of Torrevieja stands out. 1

Church of the Immaculate Conception

4.5

In addition to its main altar, other sculptural works such as the image of Jesus Yacente, the Crucified Christ, the Virgin of Carmen and others of unique beauty stand out. One curiosity is that among the materials used for its construction we find the armchairs of the Watchtower of the Salt Era that had been left in a ruinous state after the earthquake of 1829, which gives the name to Torrevieja. From an artistic point of view this church has a style of neoclassical lines and stand out inside the traditional Latin cross floor covered with a canyon vault with lunetes on the central ship and edges on the sides.

Levante dam

The Paseo del Dique de Levante is one of the most representative pieces of the port of Torrevieja, with a tour of 1440 meters in which you will find the Monument Homenaje a la Mujer del Marinero, one of the most popular figures in the city. This dam has two alignments that form an angle of 161st: the first one has about 600 meters and follows a S-SW direction (effective orientation for the breaking of the wave of the rising wind), while the second one, is extended almost parallel to the coast along about 800 meters. Right in front of us we find the poniente dam, with a length of 788 meters and direction NW-SE, perpendicular to the coast of Torrevieja, which allows the docking of ships with a maximum of 8 meters.

The floating museums of Torrevieja are made up of three vessels of different origin. On the one hand, we find the S-61 Dolphin Submarine and the Albatros III Customs Surveillance Pattern.
