Estação do Rossio Star Bucks Interior, Lisbon - I


Estação do Rossio Star Bucks Interior, Lisbon.
This lavish train station's right entrance is the Star Bucks. Interior of this location seems more
theatical and bolder in scales on Lighting fixtures and glass partition between the station and the cafe.


Estação do Rossio
Looking more like a theater or a lavishly adorned palace with horseshoe arched doorways, this monumental Neo-Manueline building located between Rossio and Restauradores squares, was built at a time when train stations were seen as temples of technology.
The Franco-Swiss author Blaise Cendrars called railway stations 'the most beautiful churches in the world,' and this station could be an example. It is one of the strangest architectural complexes housing a rail terminal in Europe, and today it is the local station for trains to Sintra.
It was closed for over three years for major renovation, but reopened in February of 2008.
