Center Municipal District

The municipal administration decided to restore the Rosario Central railway station, preserving most of its outer appearance, and employing it as the seat of the Center Municipal District, as part of its decentralization programme. The District Center, named Antonio Berni (honouring the local eponymous painter). Colombian architect Laureano Forero Ochoa was involved in restoration work along with local architect Luis Grossman. Another part of the former station, separated from the rest by a short bridge over a road tunnel, was turned into an educational/entertainment center for children called La Isla de los Inventos (Invention Island).
