Central station inaugurated in 1851, remarkable for its architectural work and its exotic winter garden attracting birds

The central station, world-famous since the terrible attacks of 2004, remains an interesting architectural work to visit. Inaugurated in 1851, it was originally called the Estación de mediodía. Partly destroyed by fire, it was rebuilt according to Alberto Palacio's plans in 1890. The interior is surprising: in the heart of the station, an exotic winter garden - designed by Cesar Manrique - enjoys a year-round microclimate that attracts turtles, small birds and warm-hearted people from Madrid.

Lieu animé qui a hélas son histoire tragique et reste marqué par la folie des attentats. Incoutournable quand on arrive à Madrid en train, notamment depuis l'aéroport Adolfo Suarez Barajas, régulièrement desservi pour une somme modique.
