Located in one of the city’s central areas, the station combines Portuguese art, history and architecture, making the journey underground more interesting.

The station opened in 1959 and was part of Lisbon’s first Metro network. Its artistic decoration reflects an important period in the development of the city’s underground system. Like other historical stations, you can see the combination between modernity and tradition.

One of the station’s most interesting features is its azulejo decoration, created by Portuguese artist Maria Keil. Her work became closely connected with Lisbon Metro stations and helped create a distinctive visual identity for the network.
