History

[edit]

The Blue Line station is one of the 11 stations that belong to the original Lisbon Metro network, opened on 29 December 1959.

The architectural design of the original Blue Line station is by Francisco Keil do Amaral. On 18 April 1997 the Blue Line station was extended, based on the architectural design of Dinis Gomes.

On 29 August 2009 the Red Line station was built, based on the architectural design of Tiago Henriques, and the Blue Line station was refurbished, also based on the architectural design of Tiago Henriques.[2]
