Historyedit
Benfica Station opened on 2 April 1887, originally spelled as Bemfica. It was built on the Sintra Line on an alignment between Alcântara-Terra and Sintra. The southern terminus of the line was shifted to Rossio following that station's completion on 11 June 1890.[4] The station's name was standardized as Benfica in 1911, following a spelling reform. The quadrupling of the Sintra Line tracks between Benfica and Amadora was completed in September 1999.[4]
