België - Antwerpen Centraal
Antwerpen-Centraal (Antwerp Central) is the name of the main railway station in Antwerp. The original building was constructed between 1895 and 1905; it replaced the wooden train station from the mid 19th century.
The stone clad terminus buildings were designed by architect L. Delacenserie. It has a huge dome above the waiting room and eight smaller towers of which six were demolished during the 1950s. Fortunately they were reconstructed in 2009 together with several ornaments, including large lion statues. The rich interior is lavishly decorated with more than twenty different kinds of marble and stone.
Antwerpen-Centraal has been voted one of the most beautiful railway stations in the world on several occasions, including by Newsweek, Mashable and The Telegraph.
