It is one of the Barcelona Metro stations close to Camp Nou, the FC Barcelona stadium.

Location

Collblanc station is located on the border between the L'Hospitalet neighborhood of the same name and the Barcelona neighborhood of La Maternitat i Sant Ramon, in the district of Les Corts.

The station's main connection hall has an access located in the Plaça de la Solidaritat, at the meeting point of the major streets of carretera de Collblanc and Travessera de les Corts.[1][2]

The Line 5 station has another hall, with two accesses in the intersection of carrer de Francesc Layret and carretera de Collblanc.[1][2]

History

Collblanc was originally opened as a Line 5 station in 1969, serving as the terminus for an isolated section running from Diagonal. It was originally named San Ramón, after a nearby parish. It would become a through station in 1973, as the line was extended towards Pubilla Cases. The station's name changed to the current Collblanc in 1982, in the context of a general reorganization of the Barcelona Metro network.[3] The station underwent major refurbishment works in 1999.[1]

In 2016, a new shared station hall was opened as Collblanc became one of the initial stations on the southern portion of Line 9. The inauguration took place on February 12, 2016.[4] As other stations on the Line 9 project, Collblanc was built in a well structure, with a depth of 56 meters. Unlike other stations however, Collblanc doesn't feature several high-capacity elevators. Instead, 5 sets of escalators link the new platforms to the station hall. Only 2 elevators reach the platform level.[5]

As of April 2025, due to the ongoing works to complete the central section of Line 9 and Line 10, only the lower platform shared by the lines is normally in use.[6]

On 8 September 2018, Line 10's southern branch became operational, with Collblanc serving as the line's temporary terminus.[7]

Passenger numbers

In 2024, it was the tenth most used station on the network with over 8.2 million users.[8]
