Estação Marítima de Alcântara, Maritime terminal in Estrela, Portugal

The Alcântara Maritime Station stands along the Tagus River with a concrete structure featuring a ground floor and an upper level with an extended terrace.

Architect Pardal Monteiro designed this maritime station in 1943 as part of Lisbon's port modernization, receiving its first ship carrying 253 war refugees from Philadelphia.

The waiting room exhibits eight frescoes created by artist Almada Negreiros, including two triptychs and two individual paintings installed in 1945.

This transportation hub connects ferry services with urban trains on the Cascais Line, offering ticket offices and vending machines for multiple railway destinations.

The terminal received Monument of Public Interest status through Ordinance 740-FC/2012, recognizing its architectural and historical value in Portugal's maritime infrastructure.
