The present Montecatini Centro station was originally named “Leopoldina” and was the city’s only railroad yard for many years.
Since the early twentieth century, however, it proved insufficient to handle the high number of visitors flocking to Montecatini, especially during the spa season.
A new station for a growing city
To meet this need, a second station was built in 1937 by architect Angiolo Mazzoni. The building, with its imposing yet harmonious architecture, was constructed using stone from nearby Monsummano Terme.
An interior that tells the story of the past
The waiting room, now restored, retains its original charm and is an example of the rationalist architecture of the time, contributing to the cultural value of the entire complex.
