Milano Centrale is not your average train station: it’s an imposing, grandiose structure adorned with bombastic sculptures of winged horses, lions, bulls and eagles adorning its roof.
The station, which is one of Europe’s largest, was built slowly over the early 20th century, which accounts for the fact that the building melds several architectural styles, including art deco, with an added dash of Fascist-era motifs (King Victor Emmanuel III of Italy laid the cornerstone of the station on 1906, but it was completed during Mussolini’s rule).
