At the time of its inauguration in 1763, it was the tallest building in Portugal. It can be visited by tourists and has a lookout near the top, which offers one of the best views of Porto.
Estação São Bento
The beautiful architecture draws attention to the building of the Estação de
São Bento, in the Historic Centre of Porto. And on the inside, the
cultural richness is even greater: in the station’s lobby, hand-painted tile
murals tell epic scenes from the history of Portugal. Inaugurated in 1916,
the station is still in full activity. The visit is worth it, even if you
don’t need to take a train. If you want to understand a little more, I
recommend doing an activity like this cultural walk, which covers the most
emblematic places of the city.
