Sevilla-San Bernardo, also known popularly as the ‘estación de Cádiz’, was a train station in Seville, Spain, operated between 1902 and 1991. It was located in the San Bernardo neighborhood, within the district of Nervión. Constructed by the Compañía de los Ferrocarriles Andaluces, this Neo-Mudejar style building served as the terminus for the Sevilla-Cádiz line, offering services to Cádiz, Jerez de la Frontera, Marchena, Bobadilla, Málaga, and Granada.
It had cochers for locomotives. In 1936, the state seized the station due to economic problems. After the Spanish Civil War and nationalization of Gibraltar-gauge railways, the station was assigned to the national rail operator, RENFE. RENFE managed the station until its closure in 1991, after which tracks were removed and the station was left lacking significant repair. However, the old passenger building has since been rehabilitated, hosting a gym and a market.
