Plovdiv Central Railway Station (Bulgarian: Централна железопътна гара Пловдив, romanized: Tsentralna zhelezopatna gara Plovdiv) is the main railway station serving the city and municipality of Plovdiv, the second most populous city in Bulgaria.

History

Opened in the 1870s, the station is located on the Lyubimets–Belovo railway, which links Sofia, capital of Bulgaria, with Istanbul, largest city of Turkey. It was built by Turkish architect Mimar Kemaleddin Bey.[2]

There are 11 tracks in the station. The current Art Nouveau building, designed by the Italian architect professor Mariano Pernigoni, was completed in 1908.[3]
