Information about the accessibility of this tourist resource has been provided by users
La estación de Atocha, también conocida como Estación de Mediodía o Estación del Sur o Embarcadero de Atocha, fue construida en el siglo XIX por Alberto de Palacio. Está considerada una obra de arte de la arquitectura ferroviaria. Entre 1985 y 1992 la estación fue ampliada y reformada, con motivo de la construcción del AVE Madrid - Sevilla, obra del arquitecto Rafael Moneo y desde estonces tiene dos estaciones: la nueva es la destinada al tráfico ferroviario –terminal del AVE, largo recorrido y red de Cercanías-, mientras que la antigua ha sido dedicada a oficinas de RENFE y a un complejo comercial y de ocio. En el vestíbulo del AVE existe una oficina de información turística.
