Entre Campos is one of Lisbon Metro’s lines, which is also decorated with art.

The station was decorated in 1993 by artist Bartolomeu Cid dos Santos. His work was inspired by Portuguese literature, and it gives the station a strong local character.

Entre Campos is in Lisbon, close to an important transport hub and city area. Inside, the walls show detailed engraved images that look a bit like a stone library.

But to see the references, you will have to look for panels referencing Luís de Camões and Fernando Pessoa.

For passengers, the station may be a place where they just cross every day to go around the city. But it’s also a chance to see art while moving through the city. Expats living in Portugal may find it a useful and simple introduction to Lisbon’s public art and to the city’s habit of mixing daily life with culture.
