Liège-Guillemen Station
Description:
Liège-Guillemen station in the Belgian city of Liège, is the main transport hub that runs through the city, and is located on the line, which is the main railway artery of the country. More than 36,000 people use the station every day.
The station dates back to 1838, when the railway line connecting Anse and Brussels was opened. In 1842 the station was opened. In 1958, the station was renovated and used until 2009, when architect Santiago Calatrava took up the new project. On September 18, 2009, the opening ceremony of the renovated station took place. The celebration turned into a real show, the end of which was marked by colorful fireworks.
The modern station has 9 track lines and 5 platforms. Everything around the station was upgraded to improve the speed of arrival and departure of trains. The station is made in a futuristic form. Glass, steel and white concrete were used for its construction, and a 200-meter dome rises into the sky above the station itself, thanks to it, it seems as if it hovers in the air.
About 300 million euros were spent on construction.
