Túnel de Montgat, Railway tunnel in Montgat, Spain.
The tunnel spans 135 meters through the Turó de Montgat hill, featuring entrances decorated with castle-like architectural elements and dual railway tracks.
British engineer Joseph Locke designed this first railway tunnel of the Iberian Peninsula in 1848 as part of the Barcelona-Mataró railway line.
The structure received recognition as a Cultural Asset of Local Interest in 1997, marking its importance in Catalonian railway heritage.
Located along the N-II road, the tunnel maintains regular train service connecting coastal towns between Barcelona and Mataró.
The tunnel's south entrance underwent reconstruction after explosion damage during the Spanish Civil War, replacing its original castle design with concrete.
