Tonino A
Estação Ferroviária de Porto - São Bento #2
Le hall de la gare de São Bento est un chef-d’oeuvre de l’art de l’azulejo. Ses murs sont couverts d’immenses fresques retraçant des scènes de la vie populaire ou les grandes périodes de l’histoire portugaise du XIIe au XVe siècle. La frise, en couleurs, montre l’évolution des moyens de transport dans le pays.
La gare a été mise en service le 8 novembre 1896. Son nom provient de celui de l’ancien couvent de « São Bento de Avé Maria » qui a été détruit pour permettre sa construction. En construisant sa gare comme un monument, l'architecte José Marques da Silva, en négligea le côté pratique et utile, et oublia les guichets de ventes.
The São Bento station hall is a masterpiece of tile art. Its walls are covered with huge frescoes retracing scenes of popular life or the great periods of Portuguese history from the 12th to the 15th century. The frieze, in color, shows the evolution of the means of transport in the country.
The station was put into service on November 8, 1896. Its name comes from that of the former convent of “São Bento de Avé Maria” which was destroyed to allow its construction. By building his station as a monument, the architect José Marques da Silva, neglected the practical and useful side, and forgot the sales counters.
