About the Place
This is one of Lisbon’s most important infrastructures when it comes to the relationship with the River Tagus. The cultural and political impact of this structure, where the city (and the country) departed and arrived by sea, is still very much present in the large-scale panels by Almada Negreiros that flank the entrance hall. The project, designed by Pardal Monteiro, is characterised by a concrete structure that allows for large free spans, such as the entrance hall and the large passenger ship, delimited by glazed surfaces that allow for a very particular relationship with the river, the city, and the surrounding territory. Today, without the use of the past, it is still, together with Alcântara Station and Cais do Sodré (by the same architect), a decisive mark in the city’s relationship with the sea and the river.
