Mural with Panels of tiles on the pillars that support the Sete Rios Trains station and railway line, which includes allegorical figurations, including one alluding to the place name and perhaps to the proximity of the old Building of the School of State Defence Police (PIDE), destroyed after the revolution.
On the tiles, you can read, describing a sinusoidal line: l: «sete rios... sete fontes... sete bicas... sete bruxas... sete medos... e uma esperança». ("... seven rivers, seven sources ... seven taps ... seven witches ... seven fears ... and a hope.")
