Estação de São Bento

The city museum names the station's tiled walls and the façade of Santo Ildefonso as Jorge Colaço's two best-known works in Porto. The churches on this list carry their tiles outside, but here the tiles line the interior of a working station, and trains and commuters still pass beneath them. The map pin marks the STCP bus stop outside, which is named after the station.
