In my Railway Guide to Guide to Europe, I featured Porto\u2019s Sao Bento Station.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On my recent visit to Porto with fellow photographer Denis McCabe, I took the opportunity to re-photograph this stunning railway terminal. I\u2019ve included a few of these views below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here\u2019s an excerpt from my text on Sao Bento Station:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sao Bento\u00a0\u00a0. . . was designed by architect Marques da Silva and constructed in the early 20th century.\u00a0\u00a0. . .Portuguese stations are known for their elaborate blue painted-tile decorations but none is more elaborate than Sao Bento. Inside the main hall allegorical tile murals by Jorge Cola\u00e7o depict the history of transportation and events in Portuguese history.<\/p>From Brian Solomon’s Railway Guide to Europe \u00a92018<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
