Pyrgos Vasilissis railway station (original) (raw)

Pyrgos Vasilissis railway station (Greek: Σιδηροδρομικός σταθμός Πύργου Βασιλίσσης, romanized: Sidirodromikós Stathmós Pýrgou Vasilíssis) is a station on the Piraeus–Platy railway line in Agioi Anargyroi, a suburb in the north-central part of Athens, Greece. It was opened on 27 February 2014 and is located in front of the stadium of Agioi Anargyroi (Constantinople and Messolonghi, Anakasa). The station owes its name to the large adjacent tower, built as a mock castle that was built as a holiday home of Queen Amalia.
