Montecara Pòrta Conìxia railway station (Montecaran: Staxiòn de Montecara Pòrta Conìxia) is the principal rail terminal in Montecara, serving nearly 15 million passengers per year.

History

Montecara's first train infrastructure was built in the 1850s when it was part of the Gaullican Empire. Steam trains ran between the island's port facilities, city center, and outlying villages, complementing the Port of Montecara and allowing for goods and workers to be transported much more easily than was possible using only horse-powered transportation.

Pòrta Conìxia was intended to serve as a central station for the rail lines that crisscrossed the island and an interconnected ferry terminal that would allow for easy connections to mainland Euclea. The first train departed the station at 10:11 on 8 June 1904.

Architecture

The station was the first major edifice in Montecara to be built in the Stìl Dècora style that was coming into vogue in turn-of-the-century Euclea. The architect, Demètrio Ribi, was one of the most famous Montecaran architects of the era and went on to design public buildings in Auratia and Etruria, among other countries. The station has undergone several renovations, the most recent of which was completed in 2012.
