Estació de França (Catalan language for "France Station") is a major train station in Barcelona.

The two monumental buildings that make up the station were designed by architect Pedro Muguruza and completed in 1929. They surround the railtracks in the shape of a U. It's generally seen as the city's most beautiful station, with its marble, bronze and crystal decoration. It's 29 m. tall and 195 m. long

The twelve railroads that serve the station are hosted in seven platforms which are the terminus of several RENFE services.

It can be easily accessed by the Barcelona metro station "Barceloneta", on L4.
