Cagliari is the main railway station of the Italian city of Cagliari, the capital of Sardinia. It is owned by the Ferrovie dello Stato, the national rail company of Italy, and is the most important stations of its region. The station is sometimes unofficially named Cagliari Centrale and Cagliari Piazza Matteotti. This second name is due to station's position on Giacomo Matteotti Square.

History

The station was inaugurated on july 1879, as terminus of the central Sardinian line to Oristano, Ozieri and Olbia. In 1893 it was linked to the port for freight traffic. In latest 1980's, due to the construction of a second track on Cagliari-Decimomannu line,[2] the station was renewed and a fourth platform (to host a total of 8 passenger tracks) was built.

Structure and transport

Cagliari station is located in the middle of the city and counts a railway depot 200 m in north and parallel to the line. The station building has three floors and, at the top, a sculpture representing the coat of arms of the city and the inscription "FERROVIE DELLO STATO".

The station, not electrified as others in Sardinia,[3] is served by regional trains linking it to almost all the island towns, excluding some as Nuoro or Alghero.[4] It is also served by a suburban railway that, with a light rail, is part of a projected Metro system.[5]
