The history of Mieres and its surroundings

Although archaeological vestiges have been found in the Serra de Finestres that indicate the human presence in the municipality since the time of the Iberians, the first document in which the place name of Mieres, then Miliarias , appears, is from the year 834. The origin of the town's small towns is medieval and the most relevant moment in its history is the year 1484 when the peasants of Mieres, under the orders of Pere Joan Sala, rose up against the authorities, thus beginning the second War of Remences. In the War of Spanish Independence, already in the 19th century, Mieres was the scene of several confrontations.
