Spagna is an underground station on Line A of the Rome Metro, in the rione Campo Marzio, which was inaugurated in 1980.
The station is named after the nearby Piazza di Spagna: its main exit is on Vicolo del Bottino, a short stretch of road that leads to the square. Another exit, connected by a series of moving walkways, is located near Porta Pinciana and the homonymous entrance to Villa Borghese.
History
[edit]The Spagna station was built as part of the first section (from Anagnina to Ottaviano) of the Line A of the Rome Metro,[1] which came into service in 1980.[2]
The project of an interchange with the future Line D was abandoned in the autumn of 2012.
On 23 March 2019, after that Barberini was impounded for a problem with the escalators, Spagna was also closed. The closure lasted about a month and a half: in fact, the station reopened to the public at 6 pm on 7 May 2019.
