Abstract
[spa] A principios del siglo XX, Peñarroya-Pueblonuevo era la primera zona de producción de carbón de toda España y el primer foco de fundición de plomo a nivel mundial. La empresa francesa Societè Minière et Metallurgique de Peñarroya, fundada en 1881 por Charles Ledoux, se asentó en este territorio cordobés para explotar sus recursos y construyó una colonia diferenciada del resto de la población. El vertiginoso crecimiento de la empresa dio lugar al surgimiento del Cerco Industrial, un complejo fabril hoy en ruinas.
El presente proyecto pretende poner en valor este yacimiento arqueológico con el fin de potenciar el patrimonio industrial de la comarca; fomentar su protección, rehabilitación y preservación; así como también hacer accesible este patrimonio a los visitantes y habitantes. El patrimonio industrial se concibe aquí como un motor de desarrollo local, en una comarca deprimida y atrapada en la crisis del sector minero.

The French company Societè Minière et Metallurgique de Peñarroya, founded in 1881 by Charles Ledoux, settled in this territory to exploit its resources and built a colony differentiated from the rest of the population. The vertiginous growth of the company contributed to the rise of the factory complex called Cerco Industrial, nowadays in ruins. The present project pretends to put a value on this archaeological site, in order to enhance the industrial heritage of the region; promote its protection, rehabilitation and preservation; as well as making this heritage accessible to all visitors and inhabitants. The industrial heritage is conceived here as a significant factor in local development, in a depressed region and stuck in the middle of the crisis of the mining sector.
