Genova Piazza Principe railway station, Main railway station in Genoa, Italy
The station building features a neoclassical facade with ornate decorations, statues, and a central clock positioned beneath a prominent arch.
The railway station opened in 1860, marking a significant development in transportation infrastructure just before Italy's national unification.
The main terminal connects to Via San Lorenzo, which guides visitors through medieval architecture towards the 12th-century Duomo di Genova cathedral.
The facility operates 20 platforms serving 66,000 daily passengers, offering connections to Milan, Turin, and international destinations including France and Austria.
Despite its name referencing Piazza del Principe, the main entrance of the station actually faces Piazza Acquaverde, near Genoa's maritime port.
