Puertollano is a Spanish town in the province of Ciudad Real, in the autonomous community of Castilla-La Mancha. Traditionally it has been associated with oil shale and coal mining and industry. The area in which Puertollano is located was inhabited since prehistoric times, finding archaeological remains that correspond to Homo heidelbergensis and Homo antecessor. The city was born during the Middle Ages, linked to the repopulation process of Castile during the 13th century. In the 16th century, Puertollano received the rank of town, a privilege granted by Felipe II. At that time Puertollano is an important agricultural and livestock center. The demographic consolidation of the city occurs at the end of the 19th century, with the development of coal mining and the inauguration of the train line between Madrid and Badajoz. Its cultural heritage corresponds mainly to religious buildings, such as the church of Nuestra Señora de la Soledad (14th century), the church of the Virgen de Gracia (15th century) and the church of La Asunción (16th century). There is also a mining museum, and an old medicinal sour water spa, known as the Casa de Baños and which today is a municipal office for citizen assistance.
