Centro Cultural

This is the municipal Centro Cultural in Xela. It's not exactly abandoned. But it's not exactly a cultural center either.

From what I understand it was originally built as a train station, which was short lived. During the armed conflict, with the trains gone, it was turned into a military base. Now it houses a textile museum and the studio of an old eccentric painter. The bulk of the building remains empty and is unused, except for occasional concerts.
