Intendente Metro Station was inaugurated in Sept 1966 and is still in original conditions. Other stations on that line were already renovated.
Wikipedia: "Construction began on August 7, 1955, and four years later, on December 29, 1959, the Lisbon Metro was inaugurated. The network was formed by a line linking the Y Restauradores the Rotunda (now the Marquis of Pombal), then, the line separates into two branches, one for Entre Campos and another to Sete Rios (now Zoo).
The new system was well accepted by the public, and the first year the Metro carried more than 15.3 million passengers. The metro has proved an important factor in urban development of the city, outlining new areas of housing and services. In 1963 it opened the section from the Restorers the Rossio. This first phase of construction was completed with the section Rossio - Angels in 1966, and finally, in 1972, the section between the Angels and Alvalade.
After this first expansion, the subway stations do not open again until 1988"
