About The Area

This town was a colony that was founded during the late 18th century by Charles III in an attempt to populate the uninhabited areas near to the Sierra Morena. A number of colonies were set up at this time and Charles' minister, Olavide, decided that rather than populating these new towns with Spaniards and risk depopulating other areas of Spain, they would bring people in from other parts of Europe, mostly from northern Europe. La Luisiana is built on a regular grid pattern as dictated by town planners of the time. The small and attractive town square is adjacent to the town hall and as is the neoclassical pink parish church. La Luisiana has a population of 4300.   It is situated 15km to the west of Écija, next to the NIV motorway, 75km east of Seville. Price Guide   Top
