Tangier Ville railway station

Tangier Ville is the main railway station of Tangier, opened in 2003 to the east of the city centre and later upgraded as the northern terminus of Morocco's high-speed line. Its architecture reinterprets traditional Moroccan forms, with arched openings, tilework and a landmark clock tower fronting a broad concourse. From here the Al Boraq high-speed trains, the first in Africa, connect Tangier to Rabat and Casablanca in a few hours. Combining a gateway function with a distinctive design, it symbolises the city's modernisation.
