Giugliano is a Naples Metro underground station that serves Line 11. The previous station is Mugnano, the next one is Aversa Ippodromo.
History
[edit]Construction works on the section including Giugliano station first began in the 1980s, but the project was subsequently abandoned for a long period before officially resuming on 20 May 2003.[1][2] The construction of the station required the demolition of three illegally constructed residential buildings on public land on Via Rocco Scotellaro, the last of which was demolished in 2004.[3]
The station was subsequently designed in 2006 by architect Sandro Raffone and was finally opened on 24 April 2009 together with the Mugnano–Aversa Centro section.[4]
Station building
[edit]The facility is located in the Colonne di Giugliano area, not far from the so-called GESCAL neighborhood, in a location close to where the corresponding branch station of the Naples-Aversa/Giugliano tram line was situated from 1882 to 1959. The station is approximately 112 meters long[5] and features several artistic installations inside.
In 2021, a mural depicting the eyes of Giambattista Basile was created on the station's roof.[6][7]
The station is one of the busiest on the line, as it is located right on the border with the densely populated municipalities of Sant'Antimo and Melito, with the under-construction station in Melito just a few hundred meters away.
