In which city is Calatrava's Oriente Station?

Calatrava’s Oriente Station is in Lisbon, Portugal.

Usually called Gare do Oriente or Lisbon Oriente Station, the intermodal hub stands in Parque das Nações on Lisbon’s eastern side. Santiago Calatrava designed the station as part of the redevelopment associated with Expo ’98, transforming a formerly industrial and neglected waterfront area beside the Tagus River.

The station opened on 19 May 1998, during the world exposition. It brings together several forms of transport: national and regional trains, Lisbon Metro services, and local and long-distance buses. The elevated rail platforms help preserve connections between the city and the riverfront rather than creating a solid barrier at ground level.

Its most recognizable feature is the airy lattice canopy over the railway platforms. The repeated concrete and metal structure has often been compared with Gothic forms, while its branching geometry resembles trees or a large ribbed vault. Visitors sometimes confuse Oriente with stations Calatrava designed elsewhere in Spain, especially because his work also appears in Madrid and Barcelona. Those cities have major Calatrava projects, but Oriente is firmly associated with Lisbon.
