Estacao de S. Bento

Photographer Description of Estacao de S. Bento

Inaugurated in 1916, the historical station is known for its tile (azulejo) panels that depict scenes of the History of Portugal.

The tiles number 20 thousand, date from 1905-1916 and are the work of Jorge Colaço, the most important azulejo painter of the time.

The panels depict landscapes, ethnographic scenes as well as historical events like the meeting of knight Egas Moniz and Alfonso VII of León (12th century), the arrival of King John I and Philippa of Lancaster in Porto (1387) and the Conquest of Ceuta (1415).
