History

The station was opened on 17 November 1861, upon the inauguration of the final section of the Bologna–Ancona railway, between Rimini and Ancona.
The original operator of the station was the Società Generale delle Strade Ferrate Romane. In the reorganization of the Italian railways in 1865, the Kingdom of Italy entrusted its operation to the Società per le Strade Ferrate Meridionali . The latter company retained that function until the nationalization of the Italian railways in 1905.
During its history, the station has suffered severe setbacks, although the city has been constantly developing.
In 1935, the original passenger building was replaced by the present structure, designed by the architect Roberto Narducci.
