Largest railway station of Spain, Atocha has grown into a major transportation hub close to the heart of Madrid.
Originally, Atocha station was inaugurated in the middle of the 19th century under the name Atocha-Mediodía, which in old Spanish means south. The building was largely destroyed by fire, rebuilt and reopened in 1892. Its style was changed by De Palacio Elissagne, who worked together with the famous mr. Eiffel. This old building still stands, but no longer serves as the actual station as its capacity was not sufficient for modern usage. Instead, you can find a large tropical garden inside, with a small pool with turles and other animals. It also holds many shops, restaurants and bars, and a nightclub.
