THE ROSTRAL COLUMN
Information

Commemorative monument of the centenary of the Board of Works of the Port in 1977. It is located in the port, next to the old Yatch Club and the Sailors' Training Barracks that currently houses new facilities of the Polytechnic University and the Naval Museum. The Rostral Column, a monument commemorating a naval battle that receives this name because its shaft is adorned with ship rams, was designed by Julio Mas García and his material execution corresponds to the sculptor Antonio García Mengual. The monument is made of stone from Sierra Minera in Cartagena-La Unión. At the base of the column several reproductions of amphoras were placed, alluding to the commercial character that has marked this port throughout its history.
