A Estação Ferroviária do Rossio, originalmente conhecida como Estação do Rocio ou Estação de Lisboa-Rocio, é uma estação da Linha de Sintra, que serve o centro da cidade de Lisboa, em Portugal.
Esta interface detém 5 vias de circulação, com comprimentos entre os 147 e 196 metros; as plataformas têm 132 a 208 metros de extensão.
O edifício está classificado desde 1971 como imóvel de interesse público, estando igualmente integrado numa zona de proteção conjunta dos imóveis classificados da Avenida da Liberdade e área envolvente.
Originalmente, o complexo incluía o edifício da estação com a cobertura metálica, um prédio anexo que albergava o hotel, o Túnel do Rossio e as rampas de acesso ao Largo do Carmo. A nave, de grandes dimensões, tem 130 metros de comprimento e 21 metros de altura.
O acesso dos comboios à estação faz-se a partir da estação de Campolide, por um túnel em via dupla com 2613 m de comprimento e com um perfil abobadado de 8 m de largura por 6 m de altura até ao fecho da abóbada.
The Rossio Railway Station is a train station in Lisbon, Portugal, located in the Rossio square. The station was formerly known as Estação Central (Central Station) and that designation still appears in its façade.
The Station was commissioned by the Portuguese Royal Railway Company and was designed between 1886 and 1887 by Portuguese architect José Luís Monteiro. It was built in one the most important squares of Lisbon, the Rossio, and connected the city to the region of Sintra.
Trains gain access to the station, which is in the central urban area of Lisbon, through a tunnel which is more than 2600m long. This tunnel was excavated under the city and is considered one of the most important works of engineering of Portugal dating from the 19th century. It was completed in 1890, and soon after Lisbon's Circle Line with a connection to the North Line also opened. The station became Lisbon's main passenger terminus until 1957, from that date only a few long distance trains terminated at Rossio, mainly Oeste Line services, until the early 1990s.
The beautiful Neo-Manueline façade dominates the northwest side of the square and is a Romantic recreation of the exuberant Manueline style, typical of early 16th century Portugal. Its most interesting features are the two intertwined horseshoe portals at the entrance, the clock in a small turret and the abundant sculptural decoration. Inside, the platforms are connected by ramps to the façade level and are covered by a cast-iron structure executed by a Belgian firm. The station is an important example of Romantic (façade) and Cast-iron (platform cover) architecture in Portugal.
