Linares, Municipality in Jaén Province, Spain
The second largest city in Jaén Province sits at 419 meters altitude and extends across 195 square kilometers of Andalusian territory.
From 1849 to 1877, the population increased from 6,000 to 36,000 inhabitants due to the expansion of lead mining operations.
The Casa Consistorial, built between 1865 and 1876, displays Neoclassical architecture with modernist terracotta decorations and an imperial staircase.
The city maintains excellent transport connections through the A-4 and A-32 highways, plus regular rail services to Madrid, Cádiz, and Granada.
The former lead mines, operating continuously since pre-Roman times until the 1990s, are now protected as significant industrial heritage sites.
