Perpignan station

Perpignan is the railway station serving the city of Perpignan, Pyrénées-Orientales department, Occitanie, southern France. Part of the station was decorated in the style of Salvador Dalí, for whom the place held special significance, having proclaimed it to be the "Centre of the Universe" after experiencing a vision of cosmogonic ecstasy there in 1963[1] and made a painting called La Gare de Perpignan in 1965.

For the Salvador Dalí painting, see La Gare de Perpignan.
