This station is relatively close to the Roma-Areeiro Train Station and connects with Carris buses and intercity buses. Inaugurated in 1972, it is part of the second expansion phase of the Lisbon Metro, being part of the Green Line. The station has been expanded and renovated since 2008 and, after several contractual problems, the works were completed in 2020. In this station, we can appreciate the artworks of Maria Keil.
