Porto-Boavista railway station, Railway station in Cedofeita district, Portugal

The Porto-Boavista station building stands near the Rotunda da Boavista intersection, featuring a traditional Portuguese railway architecture with passenger facilities.

Opened on October 1, 1875, Porto-Boavista became the first railway station constructed within Porto municipality, serving the Guimarães and Póvoa lines.

The station building represents the early development of Portuguese railway infrastructure, marking the introduction of narrow-gauge tracks in the country.

The station ceased operations in April 2001 when the Póvoa line closed for Metro do Porto construction, leading to the structure's gradual deterioration.

In December 2020, a fire severely damaged the passenger building, preceding its planned demolition for the construction of a major retail development.
