The Oriente Train Station, Lisboa, Portugal
Gare do Oriente is one of the main transport hubs in Lisbon, Portugal. It was designed by Santiago Calatrava and built by Necso. It was finished in 1998 for the Expo '98 world's fair in Parque das Nações, where it is located.
It encompasses a Lisbon Metro station, a high-speed, commuter and regional train hub, a local, national and international bus station, a shopping centre and a police office.
The station bears considerable resemblance to Calatrava's earlier Allen Lambert Galleria within Toronto's Brookfield Place.
Oriente Station is one of the world's largest stations, with 75 million passengers per year which makes it as busy as Grand Central Terminal in New York.
里斯本的东方火车站（Orient Station），是由西班牙建筑大师Santiago Calatrava设计兴建。Calatrava素有结构诗人之称，作品宛如抽象雕塑， 04年雅典奥运的会场也是他的杰作。
