Officially opened in 1916, although it had been operating as a station since the late 19th century, this railway station is a true architectural and cultural treasure. São Bento Station is located in the heart of Porto and is an unmissable landmark in the city. Its location is no coincidence, as it was built on the ruins of the former Convent of São Bento do Ave Maria, which had been destroyed in a fire. The architecture of the complex, designed by José Porto, Marques da Silva, is reminiscent of French stations from the first half of the 20th century.
Upon entering the station, you will find yourself in a hall covered with more than 20,000 Portuguese tiles painted by the artist Jorge Colaço. These murals depict different episodes from the history of the city and Portugal: rural scenes, epic battles, landings, and coronations. In addition, above the murals, you will find more tiles, this time in color and smaller in size. From the ceiling, a white roof with reliefs highlights the names of the two most important rivers in the area: the Douro and the Minho.
If you have the opportunity to visit Porto, don't miss this architectural and artistic gem. It's truly stunning! 🚂🇵🇹
