The southern terminus of the Sintra Line was shifted to Rossio following that station's completion on 11 June 1890.[5] The station received an extensive modernization starting in 2007 as part of a Sintra Line renovation project.[6] The new station building was inaugurated on 6 May 2013, with the addition of quadruple tracks and another set of platforms.
