Station Quarter of La Puebla de Híjar

Monument · La Puebla de Híjar, Bajo Martín, Teruel

The Station District of La Puebla de Híjar emerged with the arrival of the Madrid-Barcelona railway line, a testament to the town's industrial heritage. Its origin lies in the station, inaugurated on 10 June 1879 with the opening of the section between La Zaida and La Puebla de Híjar, on the Zaragoza-Barcelona line, of which it was also, for years, the head of the branch line to Tortosa via the Val de Zafán. The passenger building, of notable proportions for a station of its category, consists of a three-storey central block flanked by two two-storey side annexes, with a façade of twenty-three bays. The station changed operating company several times until it was integrated into RENFE following the nationalisation of the railway in 1941.
