Caserta railway station (IATA: CTJ) (Italian: Stazione di Caserta) serves the city and comune of Caserta, in the region of Campania, southern Italy. Opened in 1843, it forms the junction between the Rome–Cassino–Naples railway and the Naples–Foggia railway.
The station is currently managed by Rete Ferroviaria Italiana (RFI). However, the commercial area of the passenger building is managed by Centostazioni. Train services are operated by Trenitalia. Each of these companies is a subsidiary of Ferrovie dello Stato (FS), Italy's state-owned rail company.
Caserta railway station is situated at Piazza Giuseppe Garibaldi, to the south west of the city centre.
The station was opened on 20 December 1843, upon the inauguration of the Naples–Caserta section of the Rome–Cassino–Naples railway. It was built just opposite the Royal Palace of Caserta, to allow the sovereign to reach it more easily.
On 26 May 1844, the station became a through station, when the next section of the Rome–Cassino–Naples railway was completed, between Caserta and Capua.
From the very beginning, the station played a key role in local and national transport, both for passenger and freight traffic. For a time, it was also served by a connector line (now disused) direct to the industrial area of the city.
In recent years, there has been major modernisation work, including the deletion of a level crossing near the end of the platforms and the opening of an underpass. In addition, a huge underground car park was built at the nearby Piazza Carlo III.
