Porto's São Bento Station: Close-Up of Historic Clock on Beaux-Arts Facade - 4K stock video
PORTO, PORTUGAL - AUGUST 8, 2025: A close-up view of the central clock crowning the main facade of the Estação de São Bento (São Bento Station) on Friday, August 8, 2025, in Porto, Portugal. This historic railway terminus is one of the city's most celebrated architectural pieces. Designed by the renowned Portuguese architect José Marques da Silva, the granite building, completed and officially inaugurated in 1916, features a distinct French Beaux-Arts and Neoclassical-inspired style. The station holds a fascinating history, having been constructed on the ruins of the 16th-century Convent of São Bento de Avé-Maria, which was demolished to make way for this symbol of 20th-century progress. While the exterior facade is a landmark, the station is world-renowned for its interior vestibule, where over 20,000 azulejo tiles by artist Jorge Colaço depict epic scenes from Portuguese history and rural life.
