Built in the early 20th century, the station bears witness to the Roya's railway past. Its 13 tracks were used to transport wood, ore and various local products to Piedmont and Liguria. Now closed to the public, the station retains all its charm of yesteryear.
The huge ashlar passenger building impresses with its unusual dimensions for a village station. This is due to its former status as a strategic frontier station. It marked the Italian end of the Nice-Coni line.
Built in 1928 by Italian Railways, this imposing neo-classical building was erected at Mussolini's instigation, to establish the omnipresence of the Fascist regime at the border.
It wasn't until 1947, with the annexation of Tende and La Brigue to France, that the station became French. In the decades that followed, the station enjoyed a new lease of life: from the 1950s to 1980, it was home to an SNCF vacation camp, bringing the site back to life during the summer months.
