History
Opened in 1870, the Grand Railway Station first connected Iași to Czernowitz in Bukovina, Austria-Hungary and, after two years, to Bucharest.
The original building designed by Julian Zachariewicz and inspired by the Venetian Doge's Palace, is 133.8 metres (439 ft) long, has 113 rooms and is listed in the National Register of Historic Monuments.
In 1928-1930, two additional wings were symmetrically added to each side of the building. In 1980, a new separate building was constructed on the north side of the complex station and named Iași Nord.
The main buildings of the station have recently been restored with modern additions.-
