Estació del Nord, Art Nouveau railway terminus in Extramurs, Spain
Estació del Nord is a railway terminus in Valencia's Extramurs district that serves as an endpoint for train services. The building displays Art Nouveau characteristics through ceramic tiles, mosaics, and wrought-iron details that reflect historical trade routes.
The building was completed in 1917 by architect Demetri Ribes, who blended Valencian Art Nouveau elements with influences from the Viennese Secession movement. It received protected cultural heritage status in 1987, cementing its place in regional architectural history.
The station name references its historical role as the northern gateway to the city, and its interior design celebrates local orange farming traditions through decorative motifs that travelers can still see today.
The station sits at ground level and features eight platforms with multiple ticket offices and service facilities throughout. Direct metro connections via lines L3 and L5 make it easy to reach other parts of the city from here.
The building's roof features complex geometric patterns and glass panels that direct natural light into the halls, filling the space with an ethereal Art Nouveau quality. This ceiling artistry often goes unnoticed by visitors despite being central to the overall aesthetic.
