Location within Turkey

Sivas railway station (Turkish: Sivas garı) is the main railway station in Sivas, Turkey. Located just southwest of the city center, the station is serviced by three inter-city trains from Ankara, which continue east to Kars, Tatvan and Kurtalan respectively. Due to the rehabilitation of the Kalın-Samsun railway, only one regional train to Divriği services Sivas.

The station was opened in 1930 but the building wasn't completed until 1934.The rectangular plan building has a basement, a ground floor and an upper floor. There are two main gates one in south and one in north. It is registered as a cultural asset of the city. [2]
