Visit the Railway Station of Sendas

Sendas Railroad Station, originally known as Quintella, was a gauge of the Tua Line, which served as the town of Sendas, in the Municipality of Bragança.
In July 1905, work on the Tua Line ran very fast, and it was hoped that at the end of September or early October it would arrive at Quintella station, next to Valdrez and Sendas. However, this section only entered service on 18 December of that year, while the next section, until Rossas, entered the service on 14 August 1906.
In 1939, the National Railway Company made restoration works at this station.
