Canfranc Station, Spain

While it’s past its glory days, Huesca, Spain, still has the international Canfranc train station to show its majestic appeal. It had been the most-frequented train station within Europe and was the second-largest at the time it was built in 1928. There are current plans to revive it in 2026.
