A city is continuously evolving and its buildings are a perfect proof of that. When going into the historic part of Linares, visitors will have the opportunity to contemplate magnificent noble palaces and religious temples.
.
One of the most notable consequences in the city, from the urban and patrimonial point of view of the mining golden age, was the industrial architecture. Few streets lack today the presence of this style. Walking through any of its streets is like looking at a showcase dominated by façades dated from the 19th century. The red brick, the glazed tiles and the wrought iron are a perfect combination of some of the most emblematic buildings of Linares.

Carretera de Vilches Linares Jaén 23700 Españahome
Description
This natural monument is located on the road that connects Linares to Vilches. This series of waterfalls among high and intricate rock formations makes up a place of extraordinary natural value. The Roman bridge could have been part of the early Via Augusta, which connected the region of Oretani with the Spanish east coast. On that area there are also remains of such Roman road.
Paseo de los Marqueses, S/N Linares Jaén 23700 Españahome
Description
St José and St Raimundo’s Hospital, in neogothic style, was built during 1904 and 1917 thanks to the Marquises of Linares, Mr José de Murga y Reolid and Mrs Raimunda Osorio y Ortega. It has a square floor plan with four naves along two of its sides, forming thus an inverted H. The Hospital has a crypt under the chapel where the mausoleum –work of the sculptor Lorenzo Coullaut Valera–, made of marble and copper, contains the mortal remains of the Marquises of Linares.
