The Catalan; Valencian: Estació del Nord (Valencian) or Spanish; Castilian: Estación del Norte (Spanish), both meaning "North Station", is the major railway station in Valencia, Spain. It is located in the city centre next to the Plaça de Bous or Plaza de Toros, the city's bullring, and 200 metres from the town hall.
The building is one of the main works of the Valencian Art Nouveau and was declared Good of Cultural Heritage in 1987. It has connections with Metrovalencia and the city bus network.
AVE (high-speed) trains from Madrid and some other long-distance trains use Valencia-Joaquín Sorolla railway station, a short walk away, instead.
This station's name is a reference to Caminos de Hierro del Norte de España (Railways of the North of Spain), the railway company that constructed it and opened it in 1917, which was later nationalized and incorporated into Renfe, and later separated into Adif, the company that currently owns and runs it.
Dutch Symphonic Metal band Within Temptation performed at the station in July 2005 as a one-time event. The concert was filmed and broadcast on Spanish television.[2] [3]
