Located at the northern part of the city, the station brings together, architecture and public art, giving passengers a different view of Lisbon’s metro.

The station opened in 1988 and is closely connected to the Pontinha area, which sits between Lisbon and Amadora. Like many stations in the Lisbon Metro network, it shows how art can be brought into places used every day by residents, workers and visitors.

Pontinha features artistic elements integrated into its architecture, including colourful ceramic tile panels. The use of azulejos connects the station with one of Portugal’s most recognisable artistic traditions.

The artwork becomes part of the walls and corridors, allowing passengers to enjoy it during an ordinary day, making the metro resemble a museum.
