HISTORY OF BUCHAREST TRAIN STATION

The building of Bucharest North Railway Station became functional in 1872. There were two parts of the construction with a great hall in the middle, a hall that still exists today. We can still see the old part of the station at the entrance from I.Gh. Duca Boulevard. There are two towers and the first floor built as a loggia.

Only ten railway lines could be used in 1920. As the city grew larger and crowded, the building needed repairs and improvement works. The authorities planned even to build a new Bucharest Railway Station near CISMIGIU GARDENS but that never happened.
