Liège-Guillemins railway station was designed by the Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava.
Santiago also designed Milwaukee Art Museum and the Museum of Tomorrow in Rio de Janeiro.
It is covered with a lace-like roof of glass and steel 160 meters long and 32 meters high.
The transparent roof seems to eliminate the distinction between indoors and outdoors.
Liège is the third largest city in Belgium.
This station is one of the 3 Belgian stations on the high-speed rail network.
There are three high-speed lines in Belgium which support 190 mph operation.
