Gare do Oriente

Gare do Oriente (pron. IPA2|gaɾ(ɨ) du oɾi'ẽt(ɨ)) is one of the main transport hubs in Lisbon, Portugal. It was designed by Santiago Calatrava and built by Necso [ [http://www.acciona-infraestructuras.es/default.asp?x=000202020203&z=000123&item=4033&pag=&idArea=&idTipoActividad=&idTipoSector= Acciona website] ] . 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 milion passengers per year which makes it as busy as Grand Central Terminal in New York.
