Lisboa vai mudar, um novo cais vai aparecer.

O novo Cais de Lisboa representa um investimento de 27 milhões de euros e estará concluído no segundo semestre de 2020.

A obra avança em 3 fases:

requalificação da Estação Fluvial Sul e Sueste "mantendo as linhas de Cottinelli Telmo"

retirada do aterro do Cais das Colunas 

reabilitação da Doca da Marinha

Este é "um velho sonho da cidade, que durante muitas décadas viveu de costas voltadas para o rio". Com esta reabilitação, "termina a renovação da frente ribeirinha entre Cais Sodré e Santa Apolónia".

O presidente da Câmara Municipal de Lisboa falava durante a cerimónia de apresentação do projeto, que envolve ainda a reconstrução do Muro das Namoradeiras, a construção de cais de apoio e reforço de pontões, a criação do Bacalhau Story Centre e a recuperação do Navio Creoula.

O novo Cais de Lisboa vai beneficiar de verbas canalizadas do Fundo de Desenvolvimento Turístico, “uma das decisões mais estratégicas dos últimos anos”, sublinhou Medina. A taxa turística de 2€ atualmente cobrada em Lisboa, lembrou o também presidente da Associação de Turismo de Lisboa, destina-se à recuperação do património.

Street Lamps, Lisbon (No. 1)

Lisbon is famous for its unique light. But the lights and streetlamps that illuminate the city at night are also special.

Discover a Lisbon secret that’s plain to see: its streetlamps.

Whether the old style, made of iron and attached to the walls, or the more modern style, on the end of a post, these streetlamps tell the history of public lighting in the city.

The olive oil lamps introduced during the reign of Queen Maria I were replaced by gas lamps and the first electric bulbs in 1878.

Their construction, made of forged and cast iron and concrete, is representative of the Romantic and modern styles that gradually decorated the city.

Often adorned with the symbol of Lisbon – a caravel with two ravens – they can be found in the traditional quarters and the Avenidas Novas.

Discover the unique light that illuminates Lisbon – as well as the special way it is replaced when night falls.

Estação Fluvial Sul e Sueste, Lisbon (No. 1)

The Estação Fluvial Sul e Sueste, originally called Estação do Sul e Sueste, is located in the city of Lisbon. It was built after a long planning period, during which various proposals were made for its shape and location, having been for example designed as a complete railway and river station, as part of the abandoned plan for a railway line between Santa Apolónia and the Cais do Sodré. It was inaugurated on May 28, 1932,  being considered at that time as an extension of the trains to and from Barreiro, on the current Alentejo Line . In November 2019, the municipality started a deep rehabilitation plan for the marginal area next to Praça do Comércio, which included the requalification of the station building.

Estação Fluvial Sul e Sueste, Lisbon (No. 2)

The Sul e Sueste station is located next to Praça do Comércio, in the center of Lisbon, with access from Avenida Infante Dom Henrique.

This building was designed by Cottinelli Telmo, in the Art Deco style, being considered an example of the opening to international modernism.

With an innovative design, it demonstrated the constructive capabilities of reinforced concrete, using a structure that left the facade and floor plan free, and a composition in elementary volumes, with a flat surface and large glass surfaces, where the rigorous grid in the structure was revealed. Its composition is formally heavy, ambiguous and uncharacteristic, showing some reminiscences of Art Deco , aspects normally used by Cottinelli Telmo. The atrium had mosaic pillars clad in marble, and a crown molding with a jagged frieze; the locksmiths used geometric ornamentation, with circles, zigzags, diagonals and cut triangles, a style that was repeated in the mosaics on the walls and in the window frames of the ticket offices, which were topped by staggered pediments. Since it was opened to serve as the Lisbon terminal for trains from the South and Southeast regions of Portugal, the entrance hall was decorated with tile panels from some of the main railway stations in those regions: Faro, Lagos, Silves, Portimão, Setúbal, Évora, Estremoz, and Portalegre. The coats of arms of the city of Lisbon and the capitals of the districts served by rail were also represented. All the materials originally used in the building were of national origin, including the marble, coming from Vila Viçosa, the cement, and the tiles.
