The Old Morgado Halt is located in the area of Porto de Muge, an area belonging to the locality of Valada, in the municipality of Cartaxo. Its position offers direct contact with the surrounding region, characterized by its landscape, integrating discreetly into the urban and rural fabric of Ribatejo.
This place evokes a time when railway transport was vital for communication and development. The Old Morgado Halt served as a crucial point on the Vendas Novas Line, an important artery for the region's mobility. Its history dates back to the beginning of the 20th century: in September 1902, the first train services already reached the Porto de Muge area, and the line it was part of was officially inaugurated on January 15, 1904, marking a period of expansion and modernization.
Currently without railway activity, the Old Morgado Halt offers its visitors an atmosphere of serenity and reflection. Although the sounds of trains have fallen silent, the space retains its structure, inviting contemplation of its past. It is a place that allows a connection to the collective memory of the region, providing a peaceful pause and a glimpse into a part of the history of transport in Portugal.
