Rijeka Railway Station

The Rijeka railway station (Željeznički kolodvor Rijeka), which opened in 1873, is situated close to the port of Rijeka and is operated by Croatian Railways (HŽ). After the Croatian-Hungarian Settlement of 1868, the Free State of Fiume received a special status within Croatia's personal union with Hungary, leading to the expansion of the Port of Rijeka, designated as the main commercial port of the Kingdom of Hungary. In 1873, railway routes from Budapest via Zagreb and Karlovac, and from Vienna via Ljubljana & Pivka to Rijeka were completed, and the station opened on June 25, 1873. A year later, a direct rail connection to Trieste was established. In the 1880s, with the founding of one of Europe's first oil refineries in Rijeka, the port and station underwent expansion, adding new warehouses. The current station building, designed by the architect Ferenc Pfaff from Budapest, was constructed between 1889 and 1891 in the neoclassical style. The preserved building features a 150 m long single-story arcaded section, a two-story central entrance hall, and two head-end buildings on each side. Following the First World War, Rijeka was annexed by the Kingdom of Italy, and the station became a border station under the ownership of Ferrovie dello Stato Italiane, which electrified the Rijeka-Pivka line with a 3000 V DC system. After the Second World War, the station became part of the Yugoslav Railways (JŽ) network, and since 1991, it has been under the ownership of Croatian Railways (HŽ).
