In the centre of Morón, a century-old structure stands as a witness to time and the identity of a city. The Morón Railway Station, considered one of the most significant heritage buildings in the province of Ciego de Ávila, has for generations been a symbol of pride for the people of Morón.

However, the deterioration accumulated over the years made a restoration inevitable which, thanks to a joint effort, is moving forward with the determination to restore it to its original splendour. We have shared ideas with you about this endeavour before, and although it has not progressed at the desired speed, it is not standing still and we remain committed to recovering this symbol of the city and the railway.

This rehabilitation process not only responds to a functional need, but also to a collective demand. The station is more than just a railway connection point: it is part of Morón’s soul. Its inhabitants consider it their own, a reflection of their history and identity.

From the beginning of the project, architects, heritage specialists and builders have worked meticulously to preserve its architectural values, eliminating interventions that, at the time, altered its original design and ensuring that every detail respects its historical essence.

The restoration represents both a technical and logistical CHALLENGE. The replacement of key structures, such as the century-old woodwork and the wooden roof, requires high quality materials to be imported, which lengthens the process but ensures that the result lives up to the importance of the monument. Ongoing supervision by heritage experts ensures that every decision respects the authenticity of the station, avoiding hasty solutions that could compromise its historical value.

Morón Station must become a symbol of pride and respect, not only for those who use it, but also for those who will work in its offices, operate its services and ultimately care for it as part of their identity. Such a restoration is more than an architectural challenge, it is also a commitment to the origins and future of the city.
Once the station’s doors open, Morón will not only celebrate a completed work: it will celebrate the persistence of its legacy. It also represents a significant event for those who, although far away, remain attentive to its rebirth. Because in the heart of this municipality, the station is not just a building: it represents history, identity and the essence of the soul of the people of Morón.
