Benevento railway station (Italian: Stazione di Benevento) is the main station serving the city and comune of Benevento, in the region of Campania, southern Italy. Opened in 1868, it forms part of the Naples–Foggia railway, and is also a terminus of three secondary railways, linking Benevento with Campobasso, Avellino, and Cancello, respectively.
The station is currently managed by Rete Ferroviaria Italiana (RFI). However, the commercial area of the passenger building is managed by Centostazioni. Train services on all lines other than the Cancello line are operated by Trenitalia. Each of these companies is a subsidiary of Ferrovie dello Stato (FS), Italy's state-owned rail company.
Train services on the Cancello line are operated by Ente Autonomo Volturno, which is owned by the Consorzio UnicoCampania group.
Benevento railway station is situated at Piazza Vittoria Colonna, northwest of the city centre.
The station was opened on 18 April 1868, upon the inauguration of the Casalduni–Benevento section of the Naples–Foggia railway.
On 1 August 1868, the station became a through station, when the next section of the Naples–Foggia railway was completed, between Benevento and Montecalvo Irpino. Over the years, several other lines converged on the station.
During its life, the station has undergone several changes, such as the construction of a new passenger building, and the restructuring of its underpasses. At the start of 2007, it was completely automated.
The current passenger building is a two-storey structure that was built during the late 1960s. It is formed of a central section featuring five large arched windows, and two lateral wings. At ground floor level, there are services for passengers, while the first floor houses Trenitalia offices. There is also an office of the railway police.
