Ah, that's Oriente station (literraly translated the station of the Orient lol). It opened in 1998 and drawn by Santiago Calatrava to serve Lisbon's World fair. It's the new central station, with trains going literally everywere. It is going to get an upgrade to recieve the high speed trains from Madrid soon, with some 3 extra tracks added.
