Estação Júlio Prestes (English: Júlio Prestes Station) is a historic railroad station building in São Paulo, Brazil. In addition to commuter rail service, Júlio Prestes Station is also a cultural arts center, Centro Cultural Júlio Prestes, with a performance space, Sala São Paulo, and administrative offices for state-run arts programs.

The remodeled structure, originally built in 1938, has been on the state register of protected buildings since 8 July 1999.^[1] The train station is named in honor of São Paulo governor (1927–1930) and Brazilian president-elect (1930), Júlio Prestes de Albuquerque.^[2]

History

After extensive remodeling that lasted from 1997 to 1999, the building was registered with Condephaat, the state of São Paulo’s Council for the Defense of Historic, Archaeological, Artistic and Touristic Heritage (Portuguese: Conselho de Defesa do Patrimônio Histórico).^[1] Condephaat is overseen by the state culture ministry (Secretaria de Estado da Cultura), whose offices are located inside the station, as are the offices of the state symphony (Orquestra Sinfônica do Estado de São Paulo), and the performance space used by the orchestra, Sala São Paulo.

Rail Service

In addition to the offices and performing arts space located there, the Companhia Paulista de Trens Metropolitanos (CPTM) still operates regular commuter rail service for Line 8 (Diamond) at Estação Júlio Prestes. The station is the eastern terminus for Line 8 and, unlike Luz Station—less than half a kilometer to the east—Júlio Prestes station is not integrated with the trains of the São Paulo Metrô, nor is there service connecting the two stations. The Diamond line serves neighborhoods in the West Zone of São Paulo and the communities of Osasco, Carapicuíba, Barueri, Jandira, and Itapevi (42 km to the west).
