Camoruco railway station, Train station building in Valencia, Venezuela
Camoruco railway station is a two-story building with white walls and tall windows located in Valencia. It now functions as the main administrative headquarters for Carabobo University and houses the offices coordinating academic operations.
The building was constructed in 1957 as a railway station before rail service to Puerto Cabello stopped in the late 1950s. After the line closed, Carabobo University took over the structure and converted it into its administrative center.
The building houses administrative offices that coordinate academic programs across seven faculties, including Law, Health Sciences, Engineering, and Education Sciences.
The building sits near the intersection of Bolivar Avenue and Camoruco Street and is reachable by public transportation or car. Visitors should note this is an administrative building accessible during business hours.
The structure preserves its original railway architecture even though its rail purpose ended decades ago. This blend of historic design and university use makes it an unexpected example of transport infrastructure repurposing.
