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.

Very beautiful station located south east of Madrid not very far from the Retiro Park and the Prado Museum of Red Bricks and the Rounded Roof Roof It harmonizes with the style of Madrid But the most exceptional is inside as soon as you don't come back from huge crowds and the peace because all of it is a beautiful, exotic garden. ticks to huge trees and palm trees ending with a water body with very many turtles
