history
The Chelas metro station - along with six other stations - belongs to the Linha Vermelha , which opened in 1998 and was built in what is now Parque das Nações for the 1998 World Exhibition . The station went into operation on May 19, 1998.
The train station was designed by the architect Ana Nascimento , who has also worked on other Lisbon subway stations (including Pontinha subway station , modernization of the Roma train station ). The design, however, adheres to the usual Lisbon standards, so the station has two 105-meter-long side platforms and a mezzanine level in the middle. A special feature on the mezzanine floor are the two larger light sources that bring daylight into the train station and are intended to make the proximity between the “underground and supernatural world” clear to the passenger. Another detail is the long vertical side windows on the platform walls, which are illuminated from behind. Like all recently built underground stations, the station received three lifts.
Jorge Martins , who was responsible for the artistic design, chose numerous different tile patterns in order to give the station a very contrasting and colorful image; This is particularly evident from the eye-catching red pillars.
The Instituto Superior de Engenharia de Lisboa and the Associação Portuguesa de Escolas de Condução are in the vicinity of the train station .
