Rossio Square, Lisbon, Portugal: A Glimpse into the Romantic Past of Estacao Central (Central Station) Step back in time as we explore the captivating image of Rossio Square in Lisbon, Portugal, with its magnificent Central Station (Estacao Central) dominating the northwest side. Designed by the renowned Portuguese architect Jose Luís Monteiro, this Neo-Manueline facade is a romantic recreation of the exuberant Manueline style, typical of early 16th century Portugal. The Neo-Manueline style, a revival of the ornate and intricate Manueline style, is evident in the two intertwined horseshoe portals at the entrance, the clock in a small turret, and the abundant lavish sculptural decoration. The horseshoe arches, a characteristic feature of Manueline architecture, are intricately carved with intricate patterns, ropes, and shells, reflecting the maritime history and rich cultural heritage of Portugal. The clock, a striking addition to the station, is nestled in a small turret, adding a sense of grandeur and importance to the structure. The Romantic recreation of the Manueline style by Monteiro is a testament to the architect's vision and the enduring influence of Portugal's rich architectural past. This photograph, taken circa 1905, provides a glimpse into the past, transporting us to a time when the Rossio Railway Station was a symbol of Portugal's modernization and progress. The Neo-Manueline facade, with its intricate carvings and ornate details, continues to stand proudly as a reminder of Portugal's rich architectural heritage and the enduring influence of its past.
