Rossio station is a railway station serving primarily rail connections to the Sintra area. It is a building built in the Neo-Romanian style, with numerous decorations made of stone and two interwoven horseshoe-shaped portals.
The station was built at the end of the 19th century. Until the mid-20th century it was the main railway station of Lisbon. Today it mainly handles local traffic. The building was built on a metal structure, referring to the Manueline style dominant in the 16th century Portugal. It combined elements of the Renaissance and Moorish influences.
The facade of the station has three floors. It is topped with a carved balustrade and a clock tower. In its central part there is an entrance surrounded by carved portals. The interior of the hall is lined with azulejos tiles. The metal construction of the building is recognized here as one of the main works of Portuguese architecture of the 19th century.
