From the very beginning of building railway roads in Czech Republic (former Bohemia) Pardubice played very important role. First train arrived here on August 20th, 1845. Old railway station was about 500 meters eastward, but it was seriously damaged during air-raids in 1944. After the end of the world war 2nd it was decided that a new railway station will be constructed.
The new, impressive main railway station was opened on May 1st. 1958. The railway station building was designed by architects Karel Repa, Karel Kalvoda and Josef Danda. The interesting mosaic depicting twelve zodiac signs with the clock in its centre decorates west wall of the railway station building.
