Its origin is La Línea de Contravalación, which Philip V of Spain built during the 18th-century sieges of Gibraltar. This prevented the passage through the isthmus that joins it with the Rock of Gibraltar. After the War of Independence (1810), the civilians who began to arrive in order to work in Gibraltar built, under the ruins of the border lines, huts and shacks.
This will be the germ of the first population centre of La Línea. The city will take the name of Concepción in honour of the patron saint of the Infantry Corps (closely linked to its history).
It has an urban planning of colonial connotations, conserving a torre almenara (16th century) and remains of the fortresses of Santa Bárbara and San Felipe (18th century), in addition to the Church of la Inmaculada.
