Horta (Barcelona Metro)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Horta (Catalan, pronounced [ˡɔɾtə]) is a station in the Barcelona metro network, currently the northern terminus of L5, located under carrer de Lisboa, in the Horta-Guinardó district of Barcelona. It was opened in 1967, when an extension of the line into the neighbourhood of the same name from Vilapicina was opened.

The partially curved island-platform station has a ticket hall at either end, one with two accesses, the other with one.

Horta will soon cease to be a terminus, as the line is being extended towards Vall d'Hebron, meeting L3.
