Domodossola railway station

The station was opened on 9 September 1888, together with the rest of the Domodossola–Arona section of the Milan–Domodossola railway. It was built as part of a railway construction project planned since the 1870s. The aim of the project was to break the isolation of the Ossola valley, by connecting it with Novara and Turin. On 1 June 1906, Domodossola was extended to become an international facility, upon the opening of the Simplon Tunnel and the Brig–Domodossola railway that passes through it. The architect was Luigi Boffi who died in 1904, the station was built to his design following his death. The metre gauge connection between Domodossola and Locarno entered service on 27 November 1923. ==Features==
