Location of the municipality | ||
Ormaiztegi is a village in the Goierri region of the Province of Gipuzkoa in the Autonomous Region of the Basque Country in northern Spain .
Ormaiztegi acquired the title villa = city from the Spanish crown in 1615 and thus freed itself from all ties to the neighboring municipality of Segura (Gipuzkoa) . The community had 1276 inhabitants in 2019.
Ormaiztegi is the birthplace of the leader of the Carlist army in the First Carlist War , Tomás de Zumalacárregui (1788–1835), and houses a museum in honor of the general.
The town is spanned by the 286-meter-long and 35-meter-long railway bridge on the Madrid - Irún line. The bridge is said to have been planned by the French Gustave Eiffel , but the construction was carried out by the French engineer Lavaley in 1863. The bridge, which was destroyed in the Spanish Civil War in 1936, was restored in 1940. After the old railway line was closed in 1996, the structure has now been protected as a monument .
