Location

Milano Lambrate railway station is situated at Piazza Enrico Bottini, in the northeastern Milanese district of Lambrate, which, until 1924, was a separate comune from Milan.

History

The station inherited its name from an earlier station, located in the district of Ortica. The earlier station was opened in 1896, on the original route of the Milan-Venice railway.
The passenger building of the original station still stands in Via G. A. Amedeo, near the church of Saints Faustinus and Jovita and the present-day Buccari flyover.
In 1931, during the reorganization of the entire Milanese railway system, the original station was replaced by the present one, located on the Milan belt railway.
In the early 1990s, a new passenger terminal was constructed. It was designed by architect Ignazio Gardella and is located in Piazza Monte Titano. The 1931 building, renovated in 2005, now houses some commercial activities.
