MZA - Compañía de los ferrocarriles de Madrid a Zaragoza y a Alicante (Madrid, Zaragoza and Alicante railway) was an important Spanish railway company founded in 31 December 1856 by José de Salamanca Mayol, the representatives of the Rothschilds in Spain. MZA rapidly expanded its railway concessions to encompass key routes in Extremadura, New Castile, Andalusia, and Levante, thereby gaining control of a significant market. On 1st July 1941, the MZA Company ceased to exist, and its entire network, facilities, and rolling stock were incorporated into the newly established RENFE. The MZA railways arrived in Seville in 1859. The station reproduced on the postcard, known as the Plaza de Armas station and, popularly, as Córdoba station, was inaugurated on 18 March 1901 and remained in operation until the 29th September 1990.
