Stazione di Bari Centrale (Bari Central Station), Bari
Stazione di Bari Centrale (Bari Central Station) is the main railway station of the Apulian capital, located in the Murat district of the city, of which it is the main access and reference point.
The station was born in 1864 in an area that was booming at the time. Built as a typical transit station, it had a structure characterized by a flat pitched roof that covered the two running tracks and the crossing one with the relative platforms.
The style of the passenger building favored a language of essential characters and geometric shapes. The newborn station almost immediately needed expansion due to the enormous development of railway traffic between the 19th and 20th centuries.
