Old Trenet Station

The project for the Old Trenet Station, from 1892, was designed by the architect Joaquín M. Belda Ibáñez and clearly shows his academic training in a correct and perfectly symmetrical design composed of elements of the classicist tradition always used rigorously. The building is conceived as a large bay, the two main faces are the facades facing the square and the disappeared rear platforms. The wall of the main façade has five bodies that protrude staggeredly, with the central one being the one that advances the most. The arrangement of the pediments at the finish is vaguely reminiscent of the composition of Palladian churches. After the construction of Line 4 of the metro, its surroundings have been redeveloped and it is currently the headquarters of the regional police.
