Sara Mello Certified Tour Guiding (National Interpreter Guide) lives and works in Porto. She will share with us, in general lines, the history of São Bento Station in Porto.
The S. Bento Railway Station is especially famous for its tile panels. The building, of French influence, is the work of the Portuguese architect José Marques da Silva. The station entered service, on a provisional basis, on November 8, 1896, and only officially opened on October 5, 1916.
The project for the new station was presented in 1897. Expropriations and the construction of the Avé Maria Tunnel on the line delayed the construction of the station, and there was a temporary station. In 1896 the old Convent of S. Bento is demolished and in that year the provisional station is inaugurated. The Marques da Silva Project had started in 1888, but it was only in 1897 that it was seen by the Public Works Council. In 1898 Marques da Silva presented the requested changes to reduce costs, including Telegraphs and Post Offices in the same building. Between the initial project and the final one, this project suffered about 5 volumetric solutions, in order to include the postal and telegraph service.
