The Baia museum station reopens after 25 years, with the first ride on November 6th.

After a quarter-century of waiting, the Baia station on the Cumana line will officially reopen on Thursday, November 6, 2025 , returning to residents a modern, functional infrastructure of extraordinary architectural value. Closed since 1999 , the railway site is now reborn as a museum station , designed with a new look inspired by the Phlegraean Fields and their archaeological heritage. This achievement combines mobility, culture, and territorial rebirth , achieved thanks to the synergy between the Campania Region , EAV, and the Municipality of Bacoli.

A station that becomes a museum

The new face of Baia station is much more than a transportation infrastructure: it is a meeting place between art and mobility . The interior walls recall the materials and colors of the Phlegraean Fields, with references to the mosaics, baths, and temples of ancient Roman Baia. A project that transforms the commuter's daily life into a cultural and visual experience, in line with the idea of ​​thematic stations that narrate the history and identity of the places they pass through.

With the reopening, Bacoli once again has three train stops : Torregaveta, Fusaro, and Baia , thus completing the city's network along the Cumana line. The reopening also represents a concrete step toward revitalizing sustainable tourism in the Phlegraean Fields, connecting major archaeological sites such as the Baia Submerged Park , the Baths , and the Temple of Diana.

The words of the mayor of Bacoli

In introducing the opening, Mayor Josi Gerardo Della Ragione recalled the long journey that led to the reopening: "They told us it was impossible. But we didn't stop believing. After 25 years, Baia finally has its station. It's a delight, a symbol of rebirth for the entire community . "

The mayor thanked the Campania Region , President Vincenzo De Luca , Transport Commission President Luca Cascone , and EAV President Umberto De Gregorio , emphasizing the joint effort that has allowed a construction site stalled for decades to be unblocked. “When the Cumana service returns to full operation, it will be possible to reach Baia and its treasures in just half an hour by train. This is a great opportunity for the city and the Phlegraean Fields ,” he added.

Inconveniences and prospects for commuters

The reopening comes at a challenging time for rail transport in the Phlegraean Fields, still affected by the damage caused by bradyseism and the resulting limitations on rail service . Reduced frequencies, with departures every 45 minutes and partial routes to Gerolomini, continue to pose a critical problem for students and workers.

The mayor acknowledged the difficulties but urged confidence: "We live in a unique and fragile territory. Patience is needed, but we are working together with the Region and EAV to restore a service worthy of the Campi Flegrei. The opening of Baia is a sign that what seemed impossible can become reality . "

A new horizon for mobility and tourism

With the Baia Museum Station , the Cumana Railway has gained one of the most evocative stops in Naples and its province. Beyond its symbolic value, the reopening represents a catalyst for the tourism and cultural development of the entire area, offering a direct connection to the archaeological sites and natural beauty of the Phlegraean Coast.

The station is not just a transport infrastructure, but a bridge between past and future , between the area's millennia-old history and its contemporary rebirth. One step at a time, the Phlegraean Fields are moving again.
