The building, in the 1880s on a design by the engineer Antonio Liotta inspired by the liberty style, was the subject, between 2005 and 2008, of a demanding and radical restoration conceived by the neapolitan architect Silvio D'Ascia who the original structure has been completely transformed thanks to the use of large glazed surfaces (1,700 m2 of glass roofs) and metal members (3,500 m2 of stainless steel cladding).

[1][2] Work is underway for the construction of the Monte Sant'Angelo link road, which will make the station also the terminus of Line 7.

Being in the historic center of Naples, and being the terminus of the two railways, passenger traffic is very strong.

The station is frequented by 60,000 users daily, with a traffic of 200 trains per day.

During the restoration work, the building continued to perform its function without interruption.
