One of the most stunning modern sights in Lisbon is Oriente Station. It was built by master architect Santiago Calatrava with a roof of glass and steel made to look like a row of trees.
It houses a railway station, a metro, and a bus terminal. The entrance to the metro platform has huge tile murals designed by some of the best local contemporary artists. This bridge connects the train station with the bus station
The station will soon be expanded to become the main terminal of the high speed train service planned for Lisbon, and as the city’s first stop for the train arriving from the future Lisbon Airport to be built across the river.
