Modernisation
On 15 January 2009 the new passenger building was completed, designed by the Spanish architect Oriol Bohigas and cost tens of millions of euros. The original building was in a state of decay, and therefore was demolished, however leaving the old front of the building as an element of the new building. The work was carried out as part of the redevelopment of the area "The Mill" ().
