The station was first built in 1864 and between 1865 and 1906 5 more platforms were added. In the first half of the 20th century it was further enlarged and renewed and in 1946, after World War II, the most recent renovation project was started.
Bari Centrale lies in the middle of the city, at Aldo Moro square (Piazza Aldo Moro). It is a large junction station with 16 platforms for passenger service (13 for FS trains, 3 for FSE). The station is situated on the lines Ancona-Pescara-Bari-Lecce (FS), Bari-Taranto (FS), Bari-Martina-Taranto (FSE).
The Centrale is an important transportation hub for the Apulia regional services and is also served by the citizen subway. For long distance transport it is served by InterCity, EuroStar and Express trains to Reggio Calabria, Rome, Milan, Turin, Venice, Bolzano, Trieste and Zürich. Until 1994 it was served by the express "Parthenon" Athens-Paris.[2]
