Sumario:The restoration of the Optical Telegraph Tower of Quintanilla de la Ribera (Ribera Baja, Álava), has recovered and valued one of the best preserved tower of the telegraph line designed by José María Mathé, which connected Madrid to Irun in the mid-19th century. The analysis of the walls and the excavation of the subsoil provided some evidences of its reutilization during the Second Carlist War, as the building became in one of the nodes of control of the access to Alava.
