Revista de Obras Públicas

The Revista de Obras Públicas (ROP) is the official professional journal of Spain's civil engineers, specifically the Ingenieros de Caminos, Canales y Puertos (Civil, Canal and Port Engineers). Founded in 1853, it is the oldest non-daily periodical still published in Spain and has appeared continuously since its founding, with the sole interruption of 1936–1940 due to the Spanish Civil War. Originally linked to the Escuela de Ingenieros de Caminos, Canales y Puertos in Madrid, the journal later became associated with the Asociación de Ingenieros de Caminos, Canales y Puertos. In 1957 the School was transferred to the Ministry of Education (later integrated into the Universidad Politécnica de Madrid). In 1992, the Colegio de Ingenieros de Caminos, Canales y Puertos and the university reached an agreement to transfer management of the journal to the professional association. At the end of 2005, a website was created within the Colegio's site providing access to the complete collection of articles—nearly 21,000 published from 1853 to that date. The journal remains active and is a key historical record of Spanish civil engineering.
