The Doña Luci Gardens in Linares are a green area beloved by locals, located near the Hermitage of the Virgin of Linarejos, near the Paseo de Linarejos. They are known for offering large, shaded areas thanks to their abundant vegetation. They have benches and spaces for resting, making them an ideal place for strolling or relaxing. They are surrounded by residential areas and are part of the urban complex that includes the sanctuary and the monumental promenade.

The Sanctuary of the Virgin of Linarejos is the main center of Marian devotion in Linares (Jaén), dedicated to its patron saint, the Virgin of Linarejos, honorary and perpetual mayor of the city. Tradition tells us that the Virgin appeared to the shepherd Juan Jiménez in 1227, although more recent research places the event in 1236.

The Constitution Fountain, also popularly known as the Dove Fountain, is one of Linares' most symbolic monuments, located at the beginning of Paseo Virgen de Linarejos, next to Constitution Square. It was inaugurated in 1981 as a tribute to the Spanish Constitution of 1978.

Linares has Iberian roots, with the city of Cástulo as its original center, capital of Oretania. It was first mentioned as such in 1155, during the reign of Alfonso VII. In the 19th century, it experienced its greatest boom thanks to lead mining, becoming a key industrial center in Spain. In 1875, Alfonso XII granted it the title of city. In the 20th century, the automotive industry took center stage with Santana Motor, which manufactured the famous Land Rover Santana.

The Andrés Segovia Monument in Linares is a tribute to the famous classical guitarist born in this city in 1893, considered one of the most influential of the 20th century. It is sometimes called "zapatones" (big shoes) because of the exaggerated size of the feet in the sculpture, a detail the artist used to emphasize the maestro's presence.

Being the most populated city in the north of the province, Linares hosts various services of the General State Administration and the Junta de Andalucía, both for the population it houses and for that of a large number of neighboring municipalities, as well as a center dependent university of the University of Jaén located in a modern scientific-technological campus. The city is characterized by a clear vocation to the service sector, after the disappearance of the entire mining industry at the end of the 20th century. However, actions are being taken to increase the economic impact of the secondary sector in the municipality, taking advantage of its advantageous logistical position as a gateway to Andalusia, as well as the presence of the scientific-technological campus.

The municipality is located in the central zone of the province of Jaén, between the eastern sector of the Sierra Morena and the upper part of the Guadalquivir river depression, for which reason two well-differentiated sectors can be seen: the mountains and the countryside.
