Torre São Gabriel or Vasco da Gama Center Apartments- striking contemporary architecture at the Park of the Nations and Lisbon Orient Station, Portugal. Gare do Oriente or Lisbon Orient Station is one of the main transport hubs in Lisbon. It was designed by the Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava and built by Necso. It was finished in 1998 for the Expo '98 world's fair in Park of the Nations or Parque das Nações, where it is located. It encompasses a Lisbon Metro station, a high-speed, commuter and regional train hub, a local, national and international bus station, a shopping center and a police station bears considerable resemblance to Calatrava's earlier Allen Lambert Galleria within Toronto's Brookfield Place. Some influence from Gothic architecture can also be found.
