Description
Campo Marzio Station is Trieste's old terminus, the city's second station after Centrale: an early-20th-century Art Nouveau building, closed to passengers since 1960 and now home to the city's railway museum.
Don't miss the main hall, with large windows, a wrought-iron canopy and floral decorations. Lined up on the tracks are 19th-century steam locomotives, carriages and old Trieste trams, next to a water tank from the steam era and period signals.
Designed by Robert Seelig and built between 1901 and 1906, it was the terminus of the Transalpina and of the Parenzana, the narrow-gauge railway to Istria. It was called Triest Staatsbahnhof and took the name Campo Marzio in 1923. The museum was founded in 1984 by a group of volunteer railway workers.
