Desamparados station

The three-story building of the station was the first public work conducted by the Peruvian architect Rafael Marquina in 1911, and its construction was finished a year later.

In the process of its construction modern materials and techniques were used such as reinforced concrete and expanded metal.

The main facade is symmetrical and consists of five vertical bodies divided by four pilasters of classical design.
