Fontana metro station still has many original features from 1925, such as a depth of nearly 20 metres, the peculiar exterior facade and just one entrance.

  • Cultural heritage

Gràcia has always been one of the best-connected neighbourhoods in all Barcelona. The first tramcar passed through Plaça de Rovira in 1872 (electric, in 1899) and the first bus route in the city went from Plaça de Catalunya to Plaça de Trilla in 1906. Finally, in 1925, one of the first underground stations in the city was opened: La Fontana. It took its name from the old estate that it passed through. Down on the platforms, the ceramic decoration on the mouth of the tunnel has been conserved, with the initials GMB (Gran Metro Barcelona).

Observacions

El 1925 es va inaugurar una de les primeres estacions de metro de la ciutat: La Fontana. Rebia el nom de l'antiga finca que creuava i a l'andana conserva la decoració original en ceràmica de la boca del túnel amb les sigles GMB (Gran Metro Barcelona).
