Puertollano, Spain - 1960 - An ancient photograph showing the monument to Mary Help of Christians in 'El Bonal', a remote agricultural estate located on the outskirts of Puertollano. This Salesian presence, now disappeared, was mainly dedicated to the function of a Salesian seminary, authorized by the diocese in 1959. The monument depicted in the photo was built in the middle of the field, near a well that was used for the irrigation of the various orchards present on the estate. The work is due to the imagination and talent of the Salesian and sculptor Enrique Herencia. Although the Salesians left this presence in the 1970s, the monument to Mary Help of Christians can still be seen from the street as the new owners have kept it.
