The Camoruco station was the Valencia end of the German-built Great Venezuela Railway, which from 1894 connected the city to the port of Puerto Cabello and then on to the Caribbean. Most of the line was torn up after the railway closed in the 1960s and the terminus could easily have been demolished with it. That it survives — the only nineteenth-century railway terminus left intact in Venezuela — is something of an accident.
The building is a pale brick shed with iron trusses and a clock tower, more industrial than ornamental. It is now a cultural centre and exhibition space, with some of the surviving rolling stock displayed on the platforms. Opening hours are erratic, but the exterior, the surrounding park, and the railway monument across the street can be visited at any time.
