Barcelona: Façade of former Estació Del Nord
[now Estación Norte de Autobuses]

The 1915 front of the former main train station in Barcelona —long abandoned but eventually given new life as the city's principal bus terminal.

You could arrive at the bus station —whose main entrance is in fact to one side of the building— and completely miss the monumental façade, a blend of Catalan Modernisme and Vienna Secession styles, designed by [Valencia native] architect Demetri Ribes i Marco.  Try not to.
