Brescia railway station (Italian: Stazione di Brescia) is the main station of Brescia, in the region of Lombardy, northern Italy. The station, opened in 1854, lies on the Milan-Venice railway and is a terminus of three branch lines: Valcamonica Railway to Edolo, Brescia-Lecco railway and Brescia-Piadena/Cremona railway which branches off towards southeast of the station.
Connection to the Milan-Venice high-speed railway (Milan-Verona section) entered operation on 11 December 2016. Construction of the section between Brescia and Verona is still underway. Upon completing the entire section, however, some trains might bypass Brescia to run non-stop between Milan and Verona.
The station is currently managed by Rete Ferroviaria Italiana (RFI). The commercial area of the passenger building, however, is managed by Centostazioni. These companies are full subsidiaries of Ferrovie dello Stato (FS), Italy's state-owned rail company. Train services are operated by Trenitalia, Trenord, Thello and NTV-Italo.
Brescia railway station is situated at Viale della Stazione, the south-western edge of the city centre.
Designed by the engineer Benedetto Foix, Brescia station was opened on 24 April 1854 upon the inauguration of the Milan–Venice Railway. The passenger building is constructed in a neoclassical style and influenced by neo-Roman elements and medieval style fortifications.
