Date of Object:

1918

Description:

The image does not give one a sense of the real scale of Tétouan Railway Station, one of the first to be built in Morocco in 1918, covering an area of about 1,200m2 and comprises three buildings: one castle-shaped and two large hangars. The station is a model of colonial architecture, bearing the signature of Julio Rodriguez Roda, an engineer working for the Spanish Society of Colonisation, which was responsible for many structures in northern Morocco. Receiving its first travellers at the end of World War I, the line stretched from Tétouan to Ceuta, calling at Martil, Ben Karrich and Zinat.
