Once railway station (Spanish: Estación Once de Setiembre, lit. 'Eleventh of September Station', Latin American Spanish: [ˈonse]; informally known as Spanish: Estación Once, lit. 'Eleventh Station') is a large railway terminus in central Buenos Aires, Argentina, in the barrio of Balvanera. The station, inaugurated on 20 December 1882, is located in the barrio of Balvanera, immediately north of Plaza Miserere, a large public square. The current terminal, designed by the Dutch architect John Doyer in Renaissance Revival style, was built in two stages, from 1895 to 1898, and then from 1906 to 1907. The station is named after the 11 September 1852 rebellion of Buenos Aires against the federal government of Justo José de Urquiza. Contrary to popular belief, the station is not named after the death of the president Domingo Faustino Sarmiento on 11 September 1888.
