Tropical Station
The "
Atocha Station" is the largest railway station in Madrid. In 1992 the terminal, dating from mid-19th century, was taken out of service and converted into a concourse with shops, cafés and a
tropical garden.
You can compare its architecture with the Parisian "
Musée d'Orsay", another 19th century station converted in a museum which I depicted in a
previous post.
Sadly the Atocha Station was also the stage of the
11 March 2004 Madrid train bombing.
