This was first developed during the 1929 World's Fair, when there was great need for a new station because of the traffic created by the expo. The building's architects were Pedro de Muguruza and Raimón Duran, and the engineer was Andreu Montaner Serra. There is a huge hall that opens out into the platform area, which also opens into a structure full of arcs and pillars. The Room of Mirrors, where receptions during the World's Fair were held, is exceptional. Nowadays, the station is not used much for trains, but still serves as a conference and exhibition hall.
