History
Queluz-Belas Station opened on 2 April 1887, originally on the Sintra Line between Alcântara-Terra and Sintra. The southern terminus of the line was shifted to Rossio following that station's completion on 11 June 1890. The renovation of the station was completed in June 2002, which involved introducing quadruple trackage to the station, as well as building pedestrian tunnels and better road connections. On 4 August 2017, four new escalators were installed at this station.
A fight broke out in the station on 13 July 2019, leading to a temporary closure of the station. Over 100 people were involved in the fight.
