Carrara San Martino railway station

Carrara San Martino railway station, previously named Carrara Città, was a railway station common to two lines, now suppressed, located near the center of Carrara.

The station of Carrara San Martino was born at the end of the nineteenth century by the desire of businessmen of Carrara to give their city a connection with the railway line, being the station of Carrara-Avenza about 5 km downstream from the city. The station was built as a result of lengthy negotiations conducted by the carrarese General Domenico Cucchiari, fighter of the Risorgimento repeatedly decorated for bravery and parliamentarian elected to the Chamber of Deputies in the college of Carrara. The general Cucchiari had distinguished himself in the battle of San Martino and since the opening of the station was mainly due to his efforts, the inauguration took this name. Hence the name still in use in the area, where today stands the court of Carrara.
