Calle de Boix y Morer

Two civil engineers share this plaque because they also shared much of their careers. They signed together the first stretch of piping in the Salamanca district, the city’s network of irrigation channels and, as co-authors, the design of the El Villar dam. Their names were joined on the street map in 1950. Morer (Cartagena, 1823 — Madrid, 1906) qualified in 1844 at the School of Civil Engineering, where he had taught while still a student, and joined the Royal Academy of Exact, Physical and Natural Sciences. The street runs between Cea Bermúdez and the Avenida de Filipinas, on land of the old northern expansion.
