Seixal, Fogueteiro
Since the 1970s, Lisbon’s iconic tram network faced dramatic contraction, with widespread withdrawals that reshaped the city’s transport landscape. This photo captures a striking moment from that era: a temporary tram “graveyard” located near what is today the Fertagus train depot in Seixal municipality. Rows of retired trams stand silent, marking the end of an era while reminding us of the network’s once-vast reach.

Lisboa, Praça dos Restauradores
This photo captures Praça dos Restauradores in the early 1950s, a time when Lisbon’s tram network was at the height of its glory. Trams dominated the streets, weaving through the square in constant motion and embodying the city’s bustling rhythm. It was an era when electric rails defined urban life, and the square stood as a vibrant hub of movement and connection. Yet only a few years later, the long decline of the network began, marking the end of this golden age.
