About Sao Bento Train Station
Porto
The São Bento Railway Station is a stunning 19th-century station renowned for its elaborate azulejo tilework in the main vestibule. Opened in 1916, the station is one of Porto’s most famous landmarks. The tilework, created by artist Joaquim da Silva in the early 20th century, depicts historical scenes from Portuguese history, including battles, royal events, and daily life in the 15th and 16th centuries. These blue-and-white tiles are a prime example of traditional Portuguese azulejos and add to the station’s historic charm. The station’s neo-classical exterior contrasts beautifully with the intricate, hand-painted azulejos inside, making it a popular spot for photographers. São Bento is not only a functional transportation hub but also an architectural treasure.
