Excerpt from Wikipedia

The Viaduc d'Ormaiztegi or Ormaiztegi Viaduct is a lattice girder viaduct in Ormaiztegi, Spain that was formerly used by a railroad to link a line from Madrid to Irun. It is now considered a historical monument.

History

The viaduct was designed by French engineer Alexandre Lavalley, and construction was completed in 1863.

The viaduct was destroyed during the Spanish Civil War and was reconstructed in 1940.

In 1996, it ceased to be used and was considered obsolete. A modern viaduct was built nearby. To prevent its demolition, it was declared a historical monument, since after more than 130 years, it has been considered a symbol of Ormaiztegi.

Structure

The viaduct has a length of 291.5 metres (956 ft) and a height of 35 metres (115 ft) at its highest point.
