Catalunya (Barcelona Metro)
- Catalunya (Barcelona Metro)
Catalunya, short for Plaça Catalunya metro station, is the name of a major Barcelona metro station located on Plaça Catalunya, the city's central square and a large transport hub, with the majority of bus stations going through it and linking it with all of the districts of the city and most if not all the municipalities in its metropolitan area.
It was built in 1926 as one of the termini of what would later be known as L3, and was then called "Ferrocarril Metropolitano Transversal". It has accesses on Rambla Catalunya, Passeig de Gràcia, Ronda Sant Pere and three on Plaça Catalunya itself, one in the western end of Ramblas, which boasted an underground shopping centre called Avinguda de la Llum until its closure in 1990 due to extensive reforms in the square.
It's served by TMB lines L1, L3 and FGC metro lines L6 and L7, in addition to the suburban FGC lines numbered S1, S2, S5 and S55, which list the station as Barcelona - Pl. Catalunya.
