The Old Railway Station is located in the town of Oliveira de Frades. Situated in a quiet area of the town that invites exploration, this site is associated with the network of routes of the Urban Cycle Path. Its location offers a point of interest for those exploring the area more actively, or for those seeking a place with history in the urban environment.
This building was once an important connection point for the region, marking the route of the old Vouga Valley Line. After its deactivation in the 1990s, the station is now undergoing a rehabilitation project. The objective is to transform it into an interpretive center dedicated to the history and heritage of the local railway. It will be a space where one can understand the role of railways in the life of the community, through the exhibition of objects and artifacts that tell its story.
The rehabilitation of the Old Station represents an effort to conserve and enhance the built heritage of Oliveira de Frades. The station's structure, with its characteristic architecture, is a testament to a bygone era and the importance that railway transport had in the development of the town. Visiting this site allows one to connect with the historical identity of the region, understanding how the old lines shaped the territory and the lives of its people.
