Pompei Santuario is a railway station in Pompei, Metropolitan City of Naples, Italy. It is served by the Naples–Poggiomarino line of the Circumvesuviana commuter rail system.
Originally, the station was simply named Pompei. Later, to avoid confusion with the Pompei Scavi-Villa dei Misteri station on the Torre Annunziata–Sorrento line, the name Santuario (meaning Shrine) was added, reflecting the station's proximity to the Shrine of the Virgin of the Rosary of Pompei.[1]
Station layout
The station building was reconstructed to replace the original, smaller structure, which was located nearby. It houses a ticket office and a waiting room. The station is staffed.
There are three through tracks used for passenger services, served by two platforms with canopies and connected by an underpass.[2]
