Railway viaduct from the 19th century. It was the first of the two to cross Redondela. It was inaugurated on June 30, 1876. Quite advanced for the time. Together with that of Pontevedra they give that distinctive touch to the town of Redondela.

"The Madrid viaduct saves the deep valley through two access sections built with granite ashlar vaults and a main section formed by metal beams on factory piles. The metal structure built as a beam, supports the platform or deck on which the found the railway. This iron lattice framework is supported by four large quarry pillars that leave five spans, four of 51 meters of span and the central one of 52. The resulting length of the metal part is approximately 256 m at the It is necessary to add the sections of vaults at both ends, built on quarry arches, with which the total sum exceeds 410 m. The separation between the two multiple lattice girders that support the bridge platform is 4.40 m . The material used for the metallic sections was wrought iron. On June 30, 1876, the first locomotive passed over the viaduct, a date that is given as the official date for its premiere. " Currently restored and which also provided aesthetic uniformity with the Pontevedra Viaduct. Except for the obvious signs due to meteorological causes, it is very beautiful 🤩 (but it is not pedestrian). Difficult to photograph from the center of the town ... and more easy to make a panoramic view from the road that connects Redondela with Porriño !!! 💜
