Lisbon - Santa Apolónia Station Estaçao de Santa Apolónia

 
The Santa Apolónia Station is situated on the eastern side of the Largo dos Caminhos de Ferro. The building dates from 1886, although 30 years previously the first train ran along this stretch from the station which was then provisionally located in a former monastery. Trains for the north of Portugal as well as for France and Madrid use this terminus. In 1981, following an initiative by the newspaper "Tempo", a memorial was erected commemorating the many Portuguese who emigrated in search of work and better living conditions.
