Diego de León Location within Madrid |
Diego de León [ˈdjeɣo ðe leˈon] is a station on Line 4, Line 5, and Line 6 of the Madrid Metro, located at the intersections of Francisco Silvela, Diego de León, and Conde de Peñalver streets in the Salamanca district of Madrid. It is in Zone A.[1][2][3]
The station is named after Diego de León street, which in turn is named after the 19th-century Spanish military and political figure Diego de León.
History
The station was inaugurated on 17 September 1932 as part of a branch line of Line 2 that ran from Diego de León to Goya, where it connected to the rest of Line 2. The branch was considered to be part of Line 2 until 1958, when it was transferred to Line 4.
In 1970, Line 5 was extended to Diego de León. The Line 5 platforms under Juan Bravo street were inaugurated on 26 February, and service began on 2 March.[4][5][6] On 26 March 1973, Diego de León ceased to be a terminus station for Line 4 when the line was extended to Alfonso XIII. On 10 October 1979, the first stretch of Line 6 from Pacífico to Cuatro Caminos was inaugurated, including a stop at Diego de León.[7]
