Creu de can Mateu Soler
In 1907 the owner of the Mateu Soler house found a niche in the wall while carrying out renovation work and commissioned Joan Gelabert - a blacksmith - to make a cross, which he placed inside it. The cross is neo-Gothic, with the date 1922. It has a metal Christ. Neo-Gothic, at the end of the 19th century, wanted to recover medieval Gothic art.
In the eighties of the 20th century, the UE Poblense had its headquarters and an open bar.
