History

The station opened in April 2009.[1]

Station building

The facility is located in the Colonne di Giugliano area, not far from the so-called GESCAL quarter, 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[2] and features several artistic installations inside.

In 2021, a mural depicting the eyes of Giambattista Basile was created on the station's roof.[3] [4]

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.
