History of La LÃnea: The history of La LÃnea de la Concepción, a town with a rich and multifaceted past, originates in the context of the sieges of Gibraltar. The city began as a temporary camp set up to supply the population near the fortifications laid out for the siege of Gibraltar. Its origins are closely tied to the ongoing monitoring of Gibraltar, especially during the sieges of 1727 and 1779–1783.
