Estación de La Sabana
Bogotá, Colombia
About
Estación de La Sabana was Bogotá's main railway terminal. Mariano Sanz de Santamaría and William Lidstone designed the building between 1914 and 1917, with a classical central entrance, arched openings, columns, and a large platform hall. The facade was simplified and a third floor was added in 1955.
The station is protected as both a national and district heritage building, but it is no longer the departure point for the tourist train to Zipaquirá. Turistren still has a ticket office here. Actual trains board at the platform west of Gran Estación mall or at Estación de Usaquén, so do not come here expecting to catch the excursion.
