In 2000, the City Council of Santa Cruz de Tenerife commissioned the sculpture artist Med n Mart n Barrios a sculpture, who wanted to pay tribute to the water carriers. They collect water from public sources to the houses where they have their services. Until 1706, a public source was first established in the capital of Tenerife. This sculpture was erected in the Santo Domingo square, and there it continues today, together with the fountain (1893); both protected heritage, since they are part of the Historic Complex belonging to the area of Calle de la Noria, La Recova and the Theater. The role of the water carriers was very important, mainly in times of drought, when the water supply did not exist. Their role was also important when they supplied the troops that were in Paso Alto, defending against the attack of the English. |
