Átrio da estação de São Bento

            O átrio da estação de São Bento no Porto é um dos mais belos do mundo, graças aos seus azulejos que cobrem as paredes com cenas da história e da cultura portuguesas. Os azulejos foram pintados por Jorge Colaço, um dos mais famosos ceramistas do país, e instalados entre 1905 e 1916. Eles retratam episódios como a conquista de Ceuta, a entrada de D. João I no Porto, a batalha de Aljubarrota e a vida rural do Minho. Os azulejos são de um azul intenso que contrasta com o branco e o amarelo, criando um efeito visual impressionante.
