Quart viaducte ferroviari del Matarranya

The Quart viaduct is a railway bridge that spans the Matarranya valley, connecting the towns of Fayón and La Pobla de Massaluca. The structure features multiple stone and metal arches, some of which show signs of damage and decay.

The viaduct was built in the early phase of Spanish railway development to support the Reus-Caspe railway line. Later, the structure became partially damaged and now stands as a ruin, bearing witness to this important transport network from the past.

The bridge is now a place where hikers and history enthusiasts come together to explore the region's industrial past. You can see how people use the ruins to learn about the technical achievements of their ancestors.

The ruins can be visited from the hiking trail that runs along the valley. Wear sturdy shoes and be careful around uneven surfaces and potentially missing safety features.

Though partly destroyed, the structure still displays the innovative engineering of its time, with complex arches that crossed difficult terrain. The ruins sit in a quiet area where you can enjoy views over the valley and experience the silence of the abandoned railway line.
