 Rieti railway station is located at the center of the city, just outside the medieval walls that enclose the historic city centre on its north side, and south of modern residential neighborhoods "Regina Pacis", "Madonna del cuore" and "Micioccoli".The station started operating on 30 October 1883, when the Rocca di Corno-Terni part of the Terni–Sulmona railway was opened.Upon construction, a 200 metres stretch of the nearby medieval walls were demolished, in order to create a new, large passage in the walls, so that arriving passenger could easily access the city centre.
