Estação Calçada, Railway station in Calçada district, Salvador, Brazil

The Calçada Station spans 12,800 square meters, featuring elevated walkways that connect train platforms with a bus terminal for 14 vehicles at once.

The station, inaugurated in 1860, served as a crucial connection point to Salvador Port until the railway branch closed in the 1990s.

The station stands in an area that contained the first workers' housing development in Brazil, created by industrialist Luís Tarquínio during the 1890s.

The station building contains lottery shops, small retail stores, public restrooms, and a 1,500-square-meter commercial space on the first floor.

The station integrates with the Bike Salvador system, offering bicycle sharing services since 2014, while maintaining visible railway tracks under the asphalt.
