Milan Centrale – the main train station

Even if you're not taking the train, you shouldn't miss a visit to Milan's main train station, Milan Centrale. That's right, don't just take a quick look around from the outside, but also go inside and take a look.

Milano Centrale, or Stazione di Milano Centrale, is one of the most important train stations in Europe. The terminal station was inaugurated in 1931 after almost 20 years of construction.

Milano Centrale Station / Stazione di Milano Centrale, was officially inaugurated in 1931.

King Vittorio Emanuele III laid the foundation stone for the station as early as 1906, although at that time there weren't even any construction plans for the building. Initial construction began in 1913, but progress was slow. The Great Depression had Italy firmly in its grip, and austerity measures were needed.

Milano Centrale, or Stazione di Milano Centrale, is one of the most important railway stations in Europe. The terminal station was inaugurated in 1931 after almost 20 years of construction.

Initially, the building was intended to be very simple, but Mussolini decided that this structure should represent the strength of the Fascist empire and had all plans changed. The new design was stylistically inspired by Roman monumental buildings.

Additional platforms were incorporated into the plans, and a steel platform hall was planned. It was intended to be 341 meters long and span an area of over 66,000 square meters. The structure was inaugurated in 1931 and still stands in all its glory today.

Milano Centrale Station / Stazione di Milano Centrale, was officially inaugurated in 1931.

Milan's main train station opened its doors in 1931 and has since become one of Italy's most important interchange stations. The historic station was designed by the Italian architect Ulisse Stacchini and is one of the most impressive historical buildings in the metropolis.

The entrance building features various styles, which, however, no longer corresponded to the modern architectural philosophy of train stations in the 1930s. The facade incorporates elements of Art Deco and Art Nouveau, among others. The monumental design of the main station was inspired by Roman architectural philosophies of gigantism. The Roman coat of arms on the facade is a testament to architectural history. The front of the enormous building alone is approximately 200 meters wide. Since 2005, the historic station, which now serves around 120 million passengers a year, has been undergoing extensive restoration.
