Toledo Station
The arrival of high speed rail to Toledo made clear the need to adapt the station to new needs. This was done by rehabilitating the historic station building, designed by Toledo architect Narciso Claveria in the Neo-Mudéjar style and opened in 1919.
Other amenities include an outdoor parking area. The lot is paved, lit, and covers an area of 7,500 square meters with capacity for 325 vehicles.[2]
