Entre Campos - Metro | Entre Campos [AM]
The Entre Campos station (the name, in the Metro, is written separately) is part of the stations of the original network of the Metropolitano de Lisboa, inaugurated in 1959. It is located next to the Entrecampos Railway Station (train), it interfaces with Carris and is on the Yellow Line. The Metro station, designed by the architect Falcão e Cunha, has some works of art by Maria Keil. After two renovations, by the architects Dinis Gomes and, later, by Sanchez Jorge, the station now also features works of art by Bartolomeu Cid dos Santos and José Santa-Bárbara.
