Photographer's Note
Severe façade neoclassic of railway-station of S. Bento (constructed in the beginning of XX century in the place where the Convent of Avé Maria), it lodges in its tile hall magnificent joint signed for Jorge Colaço, allusive for the transports and impressive episodes of Portuguese history.
Particulary interesting the ones that portray the entrance of D. João I in the city when of the marriage with D. Filipa de Lencastre and the submission of Egas Moniz and family to the king of Lion.

a severa fachada neoclássica da estação Ferroviária de S. Bento (construída no início do século XX no local onde existia o Convento de Avé Maria), alberga no seu "hall" magníficos conjuntos de azulejos assinados por Jorge Colaço, alusivos aos transportes e a episódios marcantes da história portuguesa.
A distinguir os que retratam a entrada do rei D. João I na cidade do Porto e a submissão de Egas Moniz e sua família ao rei de Leão.

I like the mix of different decoration and all the people rushing by - the wall paint show some kind of battle - could fit with those peoples fight to get their train ;-) Thanks Jorge - fine job.

Pois, Jorge, é parecida com a de Sta. Apolónia...; acho que está bastante boa, representando o tão desejado regresso a casa!
