São Bento Station

The most notable aspect of São Bento Station is the large, magnificent tile panels in the vestibule. The tiles numbers are 20 thousand, date from 1905–1916 and are the work of Jorge Colaço,
the most important azulejo painter of the time. The first tiles were put up on 13 August 1905.
