History
The section between Messina and San Filippo of the Palermo-Messina Railway was opened on 20 June 1889 but no passenger facilities were provided at Torregrotta until the early years of the twentieth century. The first station was originally opened as Scala and later renamed as Roccavaldina - Scala - Torregrotta. It was equipped with an important goods station where  a large amount of agricultural products came from surrounding crops. The works for the construction of a new station were contracted in 1999 and began in 2000. On 9 August 2009 the first station was closed and on 23 November 2009 the new station was opened as Torregrotta.
