El Castillo de Zuheros is a historic fortress in the small municipality of Zuheros. The castle sits spectacularly on a rock and has become a landmark of the region. The castle's origins date back to the Moors in the 9th century. It was strategically built on a limestone cliff to control and defend the region. Its location made it almost impregnable.

The Zuheros Viaduct crosses the embedded bed of the Bailón River. It has a length of 104 meters resolved into two lateral sections of 31.5 meters and a central section of 41.0 meters. Its structure is metallic and is very similar to that of the Guadajoz River Viaduct. It seems that both projects were drawn up by the same engineers, Alessandri and Delaperrière.

The castle's origins date back to the Moors in the 9th century. It was strategically built on a limestone cliff to control and defend the region. Its location made it almost impregnable. It was part of a network of castles designed to secure Moorish influence in Andalusia. In 1240, Zuheros was conquered by the troops of Ferdinand III of Castile. The castle passed into Christian ownership and was integrated into the kingdom's defensive structure. With the end of its military importance in the region, after the conquest of Granada in 1492, the castle began to decline in importance. Parts of the complex were destroyed by earthquakes and neglect over the centuries. In 1964, the towers were reconstructed as they can be seen in their current form. The ruins of the castle are now one of the main attractions of Zuheros and can be visited.

The viaduct is a historic remnant of the old railway line and offers an elevated platform with unobstructed views of the surrounding landscapes. The section near Zuheros is particularly spectacular as the viaduct crosses a gorge through which the Bailón River flows. From here, Zuheros Castle rises majestically above the village, embedded in a rock. The castle seems to be one with the landscape as it is integrated directly into the limestone. The view of Zuheros Castle from the viaduct is a perfect example of the unique combination of nature and history that characterizes the Córdoba region. It is a moment that makes every bike ride along the Vía Verde unforgettable.

The Zuheros viaduct crosses the embedded bed of the Bailón River. It has a length of 104 metres. Its structure is made of metal and is very similar to that of the Guadajoz River viaduct. A few metres away is the old Zuheros stop, a small building, very sober and functional. This building, smaller than the station, allowed the entry and exit of goods and passengers. A cobblestone in front of the façade served as a platform. From here you have a good view of the castle.

The remains date from two different periods. The massive, crenellated square tower is of Moorish origin, while the remains of the Renaissance palace date from the 16th century. At the same time, the Plaza de la Paz offers a natural viewpoint (622m), with shooting views** over the hills with their carpet of olive groves and Baena in the background.
