The discovery of large copper deposits in the late 1950s triggered rapid development, and mining facilities shaped the town from that point onward. Over the following decades the population grew and new housing blocks appeared around the industrial zones.
Local life revolves around sports, especially on match days when streets fill with supporters wearing green team colors. The stadium and training facilities sit near the center and draw crowds from across the region.
The town center is easy to reach on foot, and public buses run frequently between different neighborhoods. Supermarkets and shops are spread across the area, making everyday errands straightforward.
Much of the local workforce commutes daily to underground tunnels that stretch for hundreds of kilometers beneath the surface. The mine headframes rise above wide stretches of the landscape and shape the horizon even from a distance.
