Riomaggiore railway station
Riomaggiore railway station (Stazione di Riomaggiore) is located on the Genoa–Pisa railway, Italy. It serves Riomaggiore, which is one of the five towns of the Cinque Terre.

History
The station was inaugurated on 24 October 1874, at the same time as the – line.
 
Double track between  and Riomaggiore was opened in 1920 and extended on 14 November 1933 as far as the Gaggiola tunnel and between Riomaggiore and Corniglia on 31 May 1959. Associated work in the station area included the construction of the portal of the Batternara-Riofinale tunnel with a polycentric arch, which required changes to the adjacent areas, and the construction of a new 2-storey passenger building, a goods warehouse with a loading dock and the current underpass.
 
The station was reclassified as a halt on 14 December 2003.
 
In June and July 2011, the station was also served by the Treni del Mare ("trains of the sea") managed by the private company Arenaways, which became bankrupt shortly afterwards.

Buildings and infrastructure 
The station has two platforms; platform 1 is used mainly by trains to La Spezia and platform 2 by trains to Genoa.

An enclosed pedestrian path in the tunnel, running parallel to the track, gives access to the lower part of the historic centre at the mouth of the stream that runs through it. A second pedestrian path, which connects Riomaggiore with Manarola and was built in the open when the line was built, is a well-known tourist destination and is now called the Via dell'Amore ("the Way of Love""). It can normally be used for a fee, but it has been closed for some years due to a serious collapse of the rocks above.
