Image of La Luisiana, not of the place itself.

La Luisiana was founded in 1769 as a Nueva Población under the Enlightenment-era plan to colonize Sierra Morena and Andalusia ordered by Charles III and directed by Pablo de Olavide, in the area known as 'Venta Quemada', on the royal road to Andalusia. Its goal was to resettle the territory and curb banditry.
