General Artigas Central Station
Montevideo Department, Uruguay
General Artigas railway station (Estación Central General Artigas) is the former main railway station in Montevideo, Uruguay. Located in barrio Aguada, it was designed by the Italian engineer and architect Luigi Andreoni, it was opened to the public on 15 July 1897 and was closed on 1 March 2003, being replaced by a station 500 metres (1, 600 ft) to the north. The building was declared a National Historic Monument in 1975. Redevelopment or reactivation of the station and site has been plagued by administrative problems. The Passenger Group defending Montevideo Central Station has proposed to create a multimodal transportation center that combines trains with other forms of transportation.
