Hacho Bridge, Railway bridge between Alamedilla and Guadahortuna, Spain

The iron railway viaduct extends across 624 meters with nine trestles resting on stone piers and reaches a height of 49 meters.

Students of Gustave Eiffel initiated the construction in 1893 for the Southern Spanish Railway company, completing this engineering project in 1898.

The bridge holds national protection status as a Structure of Cultural Significance, representing late 19th-century industrial engineering methods in Spain.

The structure connected the Linares Baeza-Almería railway line through Sierra Nevada until the 1970s when a concrete bridge replaced it.

Local authorities prevented the demolition of the bridge in 1978 by removing explosives that had been placed at its base.
