Almada Negreiros - Maritime Stations Panels

Não são apenas edifícios com grande valor arquitetónico. Nestas gares, fez-se História: “aqui, os soldados embarcaram para a guerra colonial, os portugueses vieram de África depois do 25 de Abril e os migrantes chegaram a Lisboa”, recorda Ricardo Medeiros, vogal do conselho de administração do Porto de Lisboa. “As gares foram para estas pessoas um ponto alto: de partida ou de chegada”.

These are not just buildings of great architectural value. History was made at these stations: “here, soldiers embarked for the colonial war, the Portuguese came from Africa after the 25th of April and migrants arrived in Lisbon”, recalls Ricardo Medeiros, member of the board of directors of the Port of Lisbon. “The stations were a high point for these people: a point of departure or arrival”.
