After 784 days of chipping off plaster and removing rubble from the site, after the walls and floors were renovated, a new façade completed and an underground parking area arranged, just a few days before the UEFA EURO 2012 European Football Championships start, the Central Railway Station is ready to welcome travellers. Its interiors have been fully refurnished and thoroughly modernised. During the renovation works, numerous polychromes concealed by paint for decades were uncovered.
