The most significant building is the railway station, designed by Narciso Claveria in Neo-Mudéjar style.

[3] Replacing a more modest facility, it was erected in the 1920s by the railway company "Ferrocarriles de Madrid a Zaragoza y Alicante" (often known by its initials MZA).

Between 1932 and 2000 an Italian hydraulic system, developed by Bianchi and Servettaz, was used to control points switching and signalling.

Part of this system is now on display at the Railway Museum, Madrid, in a replica signal box.

[4] The stretch of the Tagus valley near Aranjuez is a good place to observe butterflies and other wildlife.
