About the Item

This original antique map displays the province of Jaén, located in the autonomous community of Andalusia in southern Spain, as of the year 1902. It contains various geographic and infrastructural features: It illustrates the mountainous regions such as the Sierra Morena in the north and the Sierra de Cazorla in the east, with contour lines showing elevation changes. Blue lines represent rivers, likely including the Guadalquivir, which runs through the province. Red lines indicate roads and railways, depicting the infrastructure that connects Jaén's towns and cities both internally and with surrounding regions. Symbols mark the locations of cities, towns, and villages, with the capital city, also named Jaén, highlighted. The coat of arms of Jaén is prominently featured, reflecting the historical significance of the region with symbols such as the castle and the lion. About the province of Jaén: Jaén is known as the world's leading producer of olive oil, which is a fundamental part of the local economy and culture. The landscape is dotted with extensive olive groves, and the province is often referred to as the "sea of olives." Jaén's rich history is reflected in its many Renaissance towns, castles, and fortresses that date back to the Moorish and Reconquista periods. The province is also home to the Sierras de Cazorla, Segura y Las Villas Natural Park, which is the largest protected area in Spain and a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. The region's gastronomy features olive oil as a staple ingredient, and the local cuisine includes traditional dishes such as "pipirrana" and "espinacas jabalinas." Jaén's cultural heritage includes festivals like the Holy Week processions, which are deeply rooted in local traditions.
