Antwerpen-Centraal Station - interior/stairwell

The Antwerp Central Train Station (Antwerpen-Centraal or Gare Centrale d'Anvers) is the main station located in Antwerp, Belgium. It is widely considered to be one of the most beautiful train stations in the world, built between 1895 and 1905 to replace the old wooden train station built in 1854. The main building was designed by architect L. Delacenserie. The interior is lavish, using more than 20 different varieties of marble and stone. The platforms themselves are covered by a huge iron and glass vaulted ceiling.
