Toledo Train Station


Think I can safely say that Toledo train station is one of the most interesting train stations I've ever seen (Preston train station in Lancashire is another that springs to mind).

Just read that the current Toledo train station opened in 1919 or 1920.

 

And that it was designed by an architect called Narciso Claveria y de Palacios.


Have also just discovered that the architectural style of the station is called neo-mudejar (Moorish revival architecture).

Both inside and outside, I found Toledo train station stunning:


Quite naturally, many people were taking shots inside the station.


Amazingly, the shots below are of what used to be ticket offices:

 
Here's a nice close-up of what used to be a ticket counter:


Thus, I'm not surprised that Toledo train station is an official cultural monument in Spain.
