Neighbourhood Riena Victoria

This unique neighbourhood was created by the Riotinto Limited mining company for its workers at the beginning of the 20th century. At that time, the province of Huelva was enjoying great economic prominence as a result of the exploitation of its mines.

The neighbourhood was built in two phases. First, a primitive project from 1916 involving one-story houses that bring English architecture to mind, based on the "Garden City" concept, with a ring road, islets with gardens and public services (gardens, a casino, a library). Later, in 1922, the architects Aguado and Pérez Carasa were responsible for designing new housing blocks, now with two floors, which give the complex a peculiar aesthetic and much better than the original design.

A stroll through the streets will take you back in time to a crucial moment in the recent history of the province of Huelva. Since 1977 it has been catalogued as an Asset of Cultural Interest.
