Duomo Station is a stop in Naples’ underground Linea 1 and is situated in one of the most well-travelled areas of the city – Piazza Nicola Amore, an historic neapolitan square at the junction of Via Duomo and Corso Umberto I – in terms of residents and tourists. Excavation works for the station have brought to light the foundations of a temple dating back to the I century b.C, as well as several archeological finds of great interest.

The archeological find is crucial to the scheme of the station and the intervention aims to turn the temple into a unique museum area.

A gateway to Naples, a well-organized transport interchange and a landmark announcing the approach to the city. Our concept is a bridge extending across the tracks, an urbanized public link shaped by a dynamic architectural language geared towards the articulation of movement.

The New High Speed Station Napoli Afragola emerges from the idea of an overhead concourse for accessing platforms, enlarged to such a degree that it becomes the main passenger hub, in itself.
