Liérganes, Historical municipality in Cantabria, Spain.
The municipality spans across 36 square kilometers of valleys and hills, with the Miera River flowing through its central area at 110 meters elevation.
The region experienced substantial growth during the 17th and 18th centuries due to the establishment of an armament factory, leading to the construction of classicist buildings.
The town center features notable architectural elements including the Palacio de Rañada, the church of San Sebastián, and multiple traditional stone mansions.
A direct rail connection links Liérganes to Santander, while the municipality maintains strong connections with neighboring towns through an extensive road network.
The legend of Francisco de la Vega, known as the Fish-Man, tells of a local who disappeared into the Miera River and emerged years later in Cadiz.
