Can Socies
A building with a ground floor and two storeys that stands out for the decorative elements on the doors and windows. The building is crowned by a frieze with floral motifs. The house was owned by Miquel Socias i Caimari (1841-1904), a lawyer and promoter - among others - of the arrival of the train to Sa Pobla in 1878. He held posts in the Town Council of Ciutat de Ciutat, deputy governor of Menorca. In January 1879, he was appointed provincial deputy and joined Sagasta's liberal party - Congress of Deputies (1886-1890) -, civil governor of Barcelona, governor of the island of Pangasinan, in the Philippines. He was named an illustrious son of Sa Pobla. The link between the Socies family and the Talapi estate still endures.
In the eighties of the 20th century, the UE Poblense had its headquarters and an open bar.
