Officially named Alameda (after the Chilean capital’s main road), Estaçion Central was inaugurated in 1885, but it wasn’t until its current building opened in 1897 that it became an icon – perhaps unsurprisingly given it was the work of one Gustave Eiffel. Two brilliant white colonnaded station buildings sit on either side of the tracks and are topped by a vast, ornate steel roof that swoops across the whole thing like an outsize albatross.
