The Tharsis Pier is an enormously symbolic element for the city of Huelva, due to its link with its recent history and exponent of its economic and social evolution. From the technical and scientific point of view, this pier is a good example of the design and technology of the European vanguard of the late nineteenth century in civil engineering, constituting a specialized and unique element within the port area on a national scale. What was it built for? The Tharsis Pier was built to provide an outlet for the important amount of mining material that during the 19th century and early 20th century arrived from the mines of the different points of the Andévalo or Cuenca Minera of Huelva. Numerous were the companies that exploited these mines, such as “The Tharsis Sulphur and Copper Company Limited”, which extracted the mineral from the area of Tharsis and La Zarza. To reach this goal, it was necessary to build a structure that would allow the material to be unloaded quickly and efficiently onto the ships in the Huelva estuary. For this purpose, the Rio Tinto Company Limited, carried out the construction of this pier-wharf a few years later.
