Architecture

The former headquarters of Pescara Central Station was a nineteenth-century palace at the same site. The initial draft of a new passenger building was drawn up in 1962 by ''Corrado Cameli Service Work'' for the FS. This draft proposed a steel-frame structure of the new station building, but changed to pre-stressed concrete in 1970, when structural calculations were carried out by the ''Studio Engineer Giovanni Cerasoli and Piero di Pescara'', with the advice from the engineer Carlo Guidi Baskets. The modern-day building is one of the earliest constructions to be made of pre-stressed concrete among Italian railway stations. The new station building was completed in 1987, when all eight railway tracks in and out of the station being raised to viaduct levels to avoid ground level-crossings.
