 History
The current Palermo Central Station, designed by Giovanni Di was inaugurated on June 7 1886. It is one of the oldest Italian stations still in use. Its monumental front is typical of the architectural style popular in Palermo towards the end of the 19th century, with renaissance and classical elements reworked in the interior decoration, in the wrought ironwork, in the cut stones from Bagheria and Cinisi and in the furnishings of the salons and waiting rooms.
Until 1941, the station was characterized by a great iron and glass canopy that extended over the tracks, but was demolished for the scrap metal to support the war effort.
