This one is called Estação do Rossio (Rossio's Train Station) I hope that you all enjoy, the pictures are not that good because I used the mobile phone camera.

It´s the Portuguese interpretation of Gothic Architecture, named Neo-Manuelino, meaning, Gothic and Portuguese architecture mixed, and from the Portuguese side I guess that there are Islamic influence, lot's of architecture arround here has been influenced by Islamic roots. Hi Ozzman, We have 4 Train stations here in Lisbon: Rossio, Cais do Sodré, Gare do Oriente and Santa Apolónia. All of them are important. Santa Apolónia and Oriente are the link out of the country. I'm glad that You enjoyed.

This train station is named Cais do Sodré, XX Century (1928). This railroad is celebrating the 120th aniversary.It's very special because it goes along the shore, so you're able to see the river and then the sea.

Joined: 25/07/2001(UTC) Posts: 11,165		I just love to see so many classic looking train stations that have not been all destroyed by modernism and "economists rationale"... Old stations are built to last, and one of the charms of entering a classic station is to feel the heritage of times gone by... Every major station has a history and a story to tell if you look for it...
