THE OLD TRAIN STATION

At a time not so distant, a railway line connected Asmara to Keren. During the Italian colonization, the train took two trips per week and played an important role in the transportation of agricultural goods produced in the fertile regions of the West to the highlands of the capital. Nowadays, the railway no longer exists and the train station serves bus bus stations. The architecture of the building, the heritage of the Italians, is worth a detour. The small cafe at the end of the building is the perfect place to watch her off the premises that come from the West and go to the capital, or come to the Marché market to buy cattle before returning to their region. To get there you must take the road from Agordat on the Giro Fiori and continue straight for about 400 m.
