Information

Huelva-Término, also known as Seville station, was a railway station in the Spanish municipality of Huelva in the province of the same name. The building in the neo-mudéjar style and its passing character was opened in 1888 as the terminal station of the railway line from Seville. The facility remained operational until its closure on April 22, 2018.

Huelva station was designed by German businessman Guillermo Sundheim to provide good access to the mines in the north of the province. Sundheim commissioned architects Jaime Font and Pedro Soto to create a neo-Mudéjar style building that is strongly reminiscent of Islamic architecture, such as horseshoe-shaped entrance arches, brick facades and battlements. On the sides were two towers that were larger than the nave. The building dates from 1888.

It is a building with a symmetrical composition of three parts: the central building consists of one floor with a gable roof and the side walls have two floors. The upper floors were intended for use as residences. It is built like a factory with bricks in very sleek shapes. The upper finish of the building is made with caliphal battlements and central pediments in Aragonese neomudéjar. The plinth is made of granite.
