[citation needed] The station is managed by Rete Ferroviaria Italiana (RFI).

Ventimiglia railway station is situated in Piazza Cesare Battisti, just north of the centre of the city.

This roof was later superseded by the current building, designed by the architect Roberto Narducci (who also designed 40 other Italian stations), which reflects, like other public buildings in Ventimiglia (especially the town hall and the gymnasium), the typical lines of Italian rationalist architecture.

The station consists of seven through tracks for passenger services, all equipped with platforms and connections to an underpass.

However, the locomotives operating on the line into France have to be multi-system anyway, because Marseille railway station is also electrified at 1.5 kV.
