The North Station (Spanish: Estación del Norte, Valencian: Estació del Nord) is the major railway station in Valencia, Spain. It is located in the city centre next to the Plaza de Toros de Valencia, the city’s bullring, and 200m from the town hall.
The building is one of the main works of the Valencian Art Nouveau and was declared Good of Cultural Heritage in 1987.
The Museu de les Ciències Príncipe Felipe is an interactive science museum.
