Faenza railway station is situated at Piazza Cesare Battisti, at the northern edge of the city centre.

However, the relocation of the station to a less central site necessitated the construction of a road link (Viale Alfredo Beccarini) between the city centre and the new facility.

This led to the destruction of the city walls, and the distortion of the fabric of the urban village of Ganga.

In 2009, Centostazioni and RFI completed a general restructuring of the property and the adaptation of technological systems in accordance with legal requirements.

The proposed Metropolis project of the comune of Faenza would reclassify the space outside the station, and particularly the goods yard.

It would also involve the construction of new housing estates (approximately 30,000 cubic meters in volume), and a new bus terminal and bike paths.

The passenger building is constructed in an evidently Italian rationalist style typical of the stations designed by Narducci.
