Roma Termini (Stazione Termini in Italian) is the main railway station in Rome, Italy. It takes its name after the like-named district, which for its part took its name from ancient Baths of Diocletian. It lies opposite the main entrance.
The station was opened as the terminus of the Rome–Frascati, Rome–Civitavecchia and Rome-Ceprano lines on 25 February 1863 by Pope Pius IX. Some years later the construction of the permanent station was set in 1868 and completed in 1874, when Italian unification happened after the Capture of Rome. The layout of the station was designed by the architect Salvatore Bianchi. |
Originally, the station’s facade stretched 200 meters deeper into the city than now, towards Via Cavour (the name of the street). In 1937, the station was to be replaced but World War II interfered.
In 1947, the current design was developed by holding a competition. It was introduced in 1950. A distinctive feature of the station is a tall space of monumental dimensions having the linear lobby hall. It is covered with full-height glass walls and a concrete roof. All this results in a combination of gravity-defying modernist architecture with a reference to Roman architecture. |
