These are the uniquely Torrevieja landmarks that will make your visit memorable.

Torre del Moro or Moro Tower. This is the most important symbol of the City of Torrevieja. It has the status of an Asset of Cultural Interest, as a Historical Heritage of Spain. During the early 1800s, salt-mining flourished, and salt was transported across the Mediterranean Sea by Dutch and Swedish ships. The tower is one of the defensive structures guarding the coast against pirates.

Museo del Mar y de la Sal or Museum of the Sea and Salt. The exhibits tell the history of Torrevieja, and the work of art that you will find most interesting here is the model of a ship, Pascual Flores, made entirely of salt. Open from Tuesday to Sunday but due to the current situation, it may admit fewer visitors at a time. Entrance is free. Phone: +34966704643 for the schedule.

Iglesia Arciprestal de la Inmaculada Concepción or The Immaculate Conception Church. This neoclassical church is at the center of the city in Plaza de la Constitución. It houses the image of the patron saint, La Purísima Concepción, along with other religious artworks. Phone: +34965712132 for inquiries.
