Atocha Station (Nhà ga Atocha)

Opened in 1851, this station is named after a nearby church dedicated to Our Lady of Atocha. It was designed by architects Alberto de Palacio Elissagne and Gustave Eiffel. What makes Atocha station unique is the large garden, almost like a small forest, built around it. This garden, designed by Spanish architect Rafael Moneo, is home to hundreds of rare species of plants and animals. There is also a memorial to the victims of the 2004 Madrid bombings.
