Lonely Planet review

Just off the Aliados lies São Bento Train Station. Designed by José Marques da Silva and completed in 1903, it seems to have been imported straight from 19th century Paris, thanks to its mansard roof and imposing stone facade. But the dramatic azulejos in the front hall are an entirely Portuguese creation. Completed by Jorge Colaço in 1930, they depict both historic battles scenes as well as a history of transport.
