Railway Station of Viana do Castelo

The train station in Viana city center is next to the giant Estação Viana Shopping Centre and was built in the late nineteenth century, by project engineer Alfredo Soares who combined traditional elements (wood, granite and tiles) with industrial materials (iron). It's unique in that there is a closed transit platform, which is, permanently, an old metal train that's very curious. Near the entrance to the platforms there's a lift to the top of the pedestrian bridge that crosses the tracks, at the end of which is the foot of the funicular of Santa Luzia.
