Estación de Canfranc

Estación de Canfranc, nestled in the Spanish Pyrenees, is a marvel of early 20th-century architecture. This former international railway station, inaugurated in 1928, has been a subject of fascination due to its grandeur and rich history. Notable for its size, it was once one of the largest rail stations in Europe. The station's exterior, with its classic French-style facade, stretches over 240 meters, offering a majestic backdrop against the mountainous landscape. Inside, photographers will find a treasure trove of ornate details, including intricate tile work, vast waiting rooms, and a striking glass canopy. The play of light through its windows and the sense of decadent decay in its abandoned spaces make it a compelling subject for atmospheric photography. After years of neglect, parts of the station are being revitalized, adding a layer of contrast between the old and new. For those interested in capturing tales of a bygone era, and the resurgence of heritage, Canfranc Station is an evocative location, rich with narrative potential.
