2022 - Barcelona, Spain - 62

            The terminal room at Estación de Francia, Av. Marqués de l'Argentera, 6.

2 of 2.

A railway station was first built here in the 19th century as the main terminus for trains arriving from France (as its name still suggests) but also for services to North East Catalonia and the Costa Brava.

Rebuilt and reopened for the 1929 International Exhibition, the two monumental buildings that make up the station were designed by the architect Pedro Muguruzaand inaugurated by King Alfonso XIII. 

The station was closed for renovation between from 1988 and 1992, reopening for the Olympic Games of 1992.

The station accommodates twelve tracks and seven platforms. It is the terminus for a number of RENFE services.

In 1929, on the occasion of the Universal Exhibition, it was completely rebuilt with the current monumental building.

The current France Station was designed by the Basque architect Pedro Muguruza with the collaboration of Raimon Duran and Reynals and, for the platform covering structure, by Pelai Martínez.

The buildings surround the tracks are in the shape of a "U"

The twelve tracks and seven platforms located inside the "U" are covered by two metal canopies 29 meters high and 195 meters long that follow the track curves to the left.
