Estación de Desamparados

Fodor's Review:

Inaugurated in 1912 Desamparados Station was the centerpiece for the continent's first railway. The building, using lots of glass for natural light, was based on styles popular in Europe. The city often uses the space for temporary art exhibits, giving you a chance to check out the inside.
