A Coruña railway station, also known as A Coruña-San Cristovo, is a railway terminus in A Coruña, Spain.

Location

The station is located in Avenida do Ferrocarril, next to Rolda de Outeiro, in the neighbourhood of Os Mallos-Estación, relatively far from center but connected by bus. There is another station in the city, San Diego, with goods sidings.

History and architectural design

The station building was built in 1935, in a rationalist style, similar to Helsinki Central railway station. Its architect was Antonio Gascué Echeverría.

Services

Two railway lines terminate at this station. They begin in León and Zamora and connect A Coruña with central Spain. High-speed trains connect the city with Santiago de Compostela, Ourense-Empalme, Pontevedra and Vigo-Guixar. Regional lines also connect the city with Lugo, Monforte de Lemos and Ferrol. Intercity trains depart to Madrid, Barcelona, and the Basque Country, passing through many other important Spanish northern cities.
