Maputo Railway Station, Dead-end railway station in Maputo, Mozambique
The Central Railway Station features a prominent dome, marble pillars, wrought iron latticework, and a dark-green exterior spread across two floors.
The station was established in 1895 as a wooden structure before being rebuilt and officially opened in 1910 with a construction budget of 400,000 dollars.
The Kulungwana art space inside the station displays works from local and visiting artists, featuring sculptures and paintings available for purchase.
The station serves as a transportation hub connecting Maputo with other regions through multiple rail lines, offering passenger facilities and ticketing services.
The station's dome was manufactured in Johannesburg by Evans & Plows due to wartime constraints affecting material procurement from other locations.
