History

This section of the Green Line opened in June 1972 together with Arroios, Areeiro, Roma and Alvalade stations. The original architectural design of the station was by Dinis Gomes with installation art by the plastic artist Maria Keil. Full refurbishment of the station was completed in March 1998, which involved extending the piers of the existing station for the construction of the Red Line. The architect for this project was Manuel Tainha and the artist was Luís Noronha da Costa.

The Red Line station opened in May 1998 in conjunction with Olaias, Bela Vista, Chelas and Oriente stations, with a view to extending the network to the area of Expo '98. The architectural design for this is also by Manuel Tainha and the art work by plastic artists Costa Pinheiro and Juhana Blomstedt, and sculptor Alberto Carneiro.

Fire and a large explosion on the morning of October 19, 1997, during the refurbishment of the station, killed two workers.[1]

gollark: You'd need to toast slow enough for the heat to disperse a bit.
gollark: Well, I think at some point you might end up just ablating the surface and not toasting the rest properly.
gollark: Yes, the toaster contains one ultra-fast toasting charge and once that's used up it's burned out.
gollark: Did their toaster go on sale yet?
gollark: I want to add full text search to minoteaur, as it would be very not good without that. However, it needs to store an uncompressed copy of stuff to provide many FTS features, which means I would either end up being MILDLY INEFFICIENT and storing revision data twice, or have somewhat more code to avoid duplicate datoids.
