History

Queluz-Belas Station opened on 2 April 1887, originally on the Sintra Line between Alcântara-Terra and Sintra. The southern terminus of the line was shifted to Rossio following that station's completion on 11 June 1890.[5] The renovation of the station was completed in June 2002, which involved introducing quadruple trackage to the station, as well as building pedestrian tunnels and better road connections.[6] On 4 August 2017, four new escalators were installed at this station.[7]

A fight broke out in the station on 13 July 2019, leading to a temporary closure of the station. Over 100 people were involved in the fight.[8]
