Hello! I'd like to present you, if you don't know or had already blogged about it already, the Leopoldina Train Station. Named after Pedro II 2nd daughter, it is a beautiful building now partially abandoned, since the train lines changed. It nowadays harbours cultural events.

Cheers!

What a nice station, thank you! And special thanks for the review you've published on our Network. I'd like to use it for the Encyclopedia, if you won't mind.
