Antwerp Centraal Station Entrance Hall Stairs I Colour

by Marlika Art

The grand staircase in the entrance hall of Antwerp Central Station is an eye-catcher in itself with its balustrades and side staircases. Embedded in the beautiful architecture of the station, it is reminiscent of the staircase of a castle or palace. Antwerp Central Station is one of the most beautiful railway stations in the world and impresses with its special architecture and the many different types of stone used to clad the building - including various types of marble. The station concourse is covered by a large dome and has been preserved in its original Baroque style. Even the antique clock above the stairs shows the current time. If it weren't for the modern displays and signs, you could almost believe you were in a beautiful castle or cathedral - which is why the station is popularly known as the "railway cathedral" - and rightly so! It is the many small details and different materials that make this special entrance hall appear so imposing. The picture is also available in black and white.
