High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The XYZ Line or Matallana Line was a system of fortifications built during the Spanish Civil War in order to defend the capital of the Second Spanish Republic in Valencia.

Following the success of the Aragon Offensive resulting in the Nationalist armies reaching the Mediterranean Sea, Francisco Franco decided to turn south against the capital of the Spanish Republic at Valencia.
