Fuorigrotta railway station (Italian: Stazione di Fuorigrotta) is a railway station in Naples, Italy. It is served by the Cumana railway line, managed by EAV.

History

The station, opened on July 1, 1889,[2][3] is reached after passing through a 1,050 metres (3,440 ft)-tunnel that runs through the Posillipo hill and takes its name from its location "outside the grotto" (Fuorigrotta).

In the late 1930s, during the undergrounding of the Mergellina-Fuorigrotta railway section, the station was converted into an underground facility. The new station building was constructed between 1939 and 1940, based on a design by architect Frediano Frediani.[4]
