Location

Alvalade is a station on the Green Line of the Lisbon Metro. The station is located under Avenida de Roma, at the intersection with Avenida da Igreja in the Alvalade neighbourhood.

History

The original 1972 design of the station was by the architect Denis Gomes with art work by Maria Keil. On 17 August 2006 the south lobby was opened based on a renovation project designed by the architect Sanchez Jorge with art installations by Bela Silva; the remodeled north lobby would be completed on 25 October 2007, this time with assistance from the original artist Maria Keil. The station was also equipped to be able to serve passengers with physical disabilities; lifts provide access to the platforms. ^[1]
