Royal Rooms

Royal Hall of Florence Santa Maria Novella Station

Royal Hall - Florence Santa Maria Novella

Another example of historic railway architecture, with original decorative elements. The presidential waiting room, originally a royal hall intended for the sovereign and the court to rest, is located inside the royal palace facing the Santa Maria Novella station. It was inaugurated in October 1935, as part of the renovation works of the station itself. All the interior spaces are distinguished by the use of refined materials: from the access floors in green Prato marble to the window frames in Carrara marble.
