Estação João Felipe

Built in the Roman Doric style, by Austrian engineer Henrique Folgare, the Central Station Professor João Felipe which dominates the square Castro Carreira, is already 136 years. Its cornerstone was laid on November 30, 1873, but the works were only started in 1879, and thus inaugurated on June 9, 1880.

On its front there are four columns surmounted by a pediment, where there is a large clock.

The Central Station is the focal point of North and South lines which integrates the rail.

The name is a homage to Professor João Felipe Pereira who was Minister of Foreign Affairs, Agriculture and Transportation and Public Works of the Government of Marshal Floriano Peixoto.
