History

The Yellow Line station is one of the 11 stations that belong to the original Lisbon Metro network, opened on 29 December 1959, and it is located in Praça Duque de Saldanha, which gives the station its name. The architectural design of the original Yellow Line station is by Falcão e Cunha. On 14 March 1977, the Yellow Line station was extended, based on the architectural design of Falcão e Cunha and Sanchez Jorge. On 28 December 1996, the Yellow Line station's northern atrium was refurbished, and on 17 May 1997, the Yellow Line station's southern atrium was also refurbished, both based on the architectural design by Paulo Brito da Silva.

On 29 August 2009 the Red Line station was built, based on the architectural design by Germano Venade and located under Avenida Duque D'Ávila, serving the Avenidas Novas area of the city and the nearby Instituto Superior Técnico. On the same day, the Yellow Line station's northern atrium was again refurbished, based on the architectural design of Paulo Brito da Silva and Sofia Carrilho. [2]
