Alcântara Maritime Terminal

The Alcântara Maritime Terminal, located in Alcântara in the Portuguese capital of Lisbon, is a former ocean liner terminal building near the mouth of the Tagus River. Together with the Rocha Conde de Óbidos Maritime Terminal, about 800 metres (870 yd) to the east, it was designed by architect Porfírio Pardal Monteiro and built in the 1940s as part of the modernization of the ports serving Lisbon. Both terminals feature large murals by Almada Negreiros. No longer used for passengers, the Alcântara terminal now contains an interpretation centre that describes the history of the terminals and the development of the murals by Negreiros.
