Plaza Constitución: the hidden gems of the palatial station inspired by the great European terminals

The article discusses guided tours of Plaza Constitución train station in Buenos Aires, highlighting its historical, architectural, and cultural significance. The station, originally built in 1864 and declared a National Historical Monument in 2021, is described as one of the largest and most important railway terminals in the world, comparable to major European stations like Roma Termini and Madrid’s Atocha. It serves over 700,000 people daily and features 14 platforms. The tours focus on lesser-known areas of the station, including its ornate central hall and the bust of General Julio Argentino Roca, installed in 1948 during the nationalization of the Southern Railway under President Juan Domingo Perón. The piece emphasizes the station’s grandeur, restoration efforts, and its role as both a transportation hub and a symbol of Argentina’s past.
