The most striking single building in Beira — a late modernist station building completed in 1966, with curving rooflines and a soaring concrete portico. It is one of the finest pieces of mid-century architecture in southern Africa, and a reminder of the late-colonial confidence that built the city. The station still operates as the eastern terminus of the line to Bulawayo in Zimbabwe and the inland routes to the coal fields of Tete.
You can wander the concourse and the platforms when the building is open. The schedule is sparse — a few trains a week, mostly freight — but the station itself is worth half an hour for the architecture alone.
