• Peñarroya-Pueblonuevo

The Cerco Industrial de Peñarroya-Pueblonuevo is one of the most important industrial heritage sites in Spain and the third largest in Europe. This impressive space reflects the mining and industrial past of the Guadiato Valley region, especially linked to the exploitation of coal and the development of the energy and metallurgical industry.

In its interior are concentrated numerous elements of great historical value, including manufacturing facilities, mining structures, workshops, chimneys and buildings linked to the industrial activity that marked the life of the municipality for decades. At present, there are 95 registered Assets of Industrial Interest, which will be declared Assets of Cultural Interest (BIC), which highlights the relevance of this enclave in terms of heritage.

To tour the Cerco Industrial is to delve into the recent history of industrialization in Andalusia and to understand the social, economic and urban transformation that the area underwent. An essential place for those who wish to discover the industrial legacy of the north of Cordoba.
