RAILWAY
The Seville-Santa Justa railway station is the third largest in Spain in terms of passenger numbers, after Madrid-Atocha and Barcelona-Sants. The high-speed line, AVE, connects Seville with numerous Spanish cities in relatively short periods of time, such as Madrid, Cordoba, Cadiz, Malaga, Huelva, Granada, Valencia, Barcelona and Zaragoza. Thanks to the development of this type of train in Europe, it is now possible to travel thousands of kilometres from Seville or to Seville while still using the high-speed train.
Santa Justa Station is the winner of the National Architecture Prize, the work of the Sevillian architectural studio Cruz y Ortiz Arquitectos. It was built in 1992 as the origin and destination of the first high-speed railway line in Spain. Its location is very convenient, it is only a 15-minute walk from the city centre. Santa Justa is also the hub of the network of five suburban train lines, which connect 18 municipalities in the province of Seville with stops in the interior of the capital.
