History of La Luisiana

In the Eastern zone of the province is the municipal term of the Luisiana, a villa of atypical origins for which it comes to be common in the province and that it frames in the privileged people and fertile payments of the region of the Countryside.

The population of the municipality promoted 4,331 inhabitants in 1.996, who distribute themselves between the corresponding ones to the main body and to the nucleus of the Campillo.

When king Carlos III and his right hand in Andalusia, the intendant Pablo de Olavide, considered to repoblar the route of Brown Mountain range to take advantage of their earth and to end the dominions of banditry, they did not imagine that its project was going to be essentially different from the predicted thing in its informed theories. One was to promise to the foreigners somewhat similar to the paradise with the intention of which these went quick to settle in the sectors established in the map Andalusian.

Nevertheless, when French and Germans (and, to a lesser extent, Italian, Belgian, Swiss and Austrian) arrived at their destiny, first which they found was a barren surface and the hostility of the ecijanos landowners of then, to which he added himself to a terrible epidemic little that decimated the population. The year of 1,769 ran and the old Burned Sale became by real decision the Luisiana, in honor of princes Luis and Ana.

The original nucleus founded by Corona undergoes little later expansions, being most important, those of last the 50 years, around the Way of the cemetery, in the sport zone, the New District and some small expansions towards the south that have been limited recently by the layout of the railcar A-4 Madrid-Cadiz.

The urban morphology of the villa is characterized by an original nucleus with a perfectly supported orthogonal structure in the old passage of the state highway IV that exposes its origin like city previously planned. That structure stays in some of the recent expansions although, in the northeast zone of the nucleus, the urban plot is radiocéntrica forming a triangular wedge delimited by the Way of the Cemetery and the one of the Cortijo de Pablo Elm tree, in which this expansion leans.

Given the excellent agricultural conditions of the zone, the industries derived from agriculture and the agricultural cooperatives that occupy the zone this of the nucleus, they determine the urban expansion in this direction.

The Luisiana exhibits an important artistic patrimony. In civil architecture it excels the House of Slugs, of century XVIII in cultured baroque style and the Posá. Both existed already at the moment of the foundation of the city and, next to them, it would be necessary to emphasize the building of the City council, located in the old Municipal Pósito.

In religious architecture they emphasize the Church of the Purest Conception in the Luisiana and the Church of the Campillo. First of them barroca with greater altarpiece of century XVIII is a work presided over by an Immaculate one of the same time. Second of them it presents/displays colonial style in its outside.
