Located at the foot of the Monumento al Minero, an imposing bronze sculpture by Pepe Noja that represents the city's mining history, it borders the volcanic area of Campo de Calatrava and is close to the Alcudia Valley. Mining activity is of particular importance with the Mining Museum, a building that surrounds an old headframe and simulates a coal selection workshop. On its two floors, the museum addresses the transformation of Puertollano into an industrial city due to the discovery of coal.

Located at the foot of the Monument to the Miner, an imposing bronze sculpture, the work of Pepe Noja, which represents the mining history of the city, borders the volcanic area of Campo de Calatrava and in its vicinity is the Valley of Alcudia. Mining activity is of special importance with the Mining Museum, a building that surrounds an old headframe and simulates a coal selection workshop. On its two floors, the museum discourse addresses the transformation of Puertollano into an industrial city due to the discovery of coal. The mining tradition of this town is very present in its different corners, such as the Castillete de Santa María, which welcomes its visitors at the entrance to the city. It is also worth seeing the Monument to the Miner, mentioned above and located on the Cerro de Santa Ana, from which we will obtain a fantastic panoramic view of the city and its surroundings.

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.
