Message from Priscila Portela

Luz Station in São Paulo, Brazil, is a historic commuter and intercity rail hub that dates back to the late 19th century.

Originally built as the headquarters of the São Paulo Railway, it played a vital role in the city's development, serving as a major entry point for goods like coffee. The station's iconic clock tower once dominated the skyline but was destroyed in a fire in 1946.

Today, Luz Station remains a bustling transportation hub, connecting passengers to various rail lines and serving as a cultural landmark with attractions like the Museum of the Portuguese Language.

If you look closely you will see similarities with London's St. Pancras station.
