Pamplona StationPamplona Station is a Work of National Artist for Architecture Pablo S. Antonio located at Pamplona, Camarines Sur, Region V.
Antonio started a distinct architectural language for train terminals that was different and unique from the railway architecture of previous periods. He invented a new base formula for train terminals by using big river stones stacked up one on top of another with concrete grouting providing support and decorative articulation. These large river stones were universally used in his terminals from the Dagupan expansion station in Pangasinan, the Damortis Station in Rosario, La Union, to the former Manila Railroad Company Bus Terminal in Baguio (sadly, now demolished) to the end terminus in Legazpi, Albay; to the smaller yet significant stations along the Manila Line South such as San Pablo de los Montes and Los Baños, Laguna; Lucena and Tagkawayan, Quezon; del Gallego, Naga; and Iriga Stations in Camarines Sur.
