Milano Centrale, Railway station and architectural monument in Milan, Italy
Milano Centrale is a railway station and architectural landmark in Milan featuring 24 platforms with marble halls and glass-roofed galleries throughout its interior. The structure serves as a major transportation hub connecting passengers to destinations across Italy and beyond.
Architect Ulisse Stacchini designed the current building, which opened in 1931 and replaced the original 1864 station during Italy's modernization period. This construction was part of broader infrastructure changes that transformed Milan's urban landscape in that era.
The station interior blends Gothic, Neoclassical, and 1930s architectural styles with detailed stonework, statues, and decorative metalwork visible throughout the space. These elements reflect the artistic priorities of the era when it was built.
The station sits 3 kilometers from Milan Cathedral and connects to metro lines M2 and M3, offering access to multiple parts of the city. Visitors will find restrooms, shops, and restaurants inside the station, making time between train departures more comfortable.
The station holds a difficult history from World War II when trains departed carrying Jewish deportees away from the city. A memorial space on Platform 21 today documents this past and serves as a place for remembrance during visits.
