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.

Extraordinaire bâtiment tant par son ensemble architectural vu de l’extérieur que par son originalité intérieure qui a su garder un cadre très dépaysant malgré les terribles attentats qui s'y sont produits il y a quelques années

Larger station of Madrid, it is the departure of many destinations in Spain. It is also a very pretty building with a botanical garden and turtles to the delight of children.

Very pretty.
Look more like a botanical garden than a station.
Turtles come to the delight of children!
