Ildefons Cerdà is served by the FGC-operated Line 8 of the Barcelona Metro and the suburban rail lines of the Llobregat-Anoia Line while Ciutat de la Justícia is served by the TMB-operated Line 10 of the Barcelona Metro network.
Both underground stations are located in Hospitalet de Llobregat beneath the Gran Via de les Corts Catalanes and close to the Plaça d'Ildefons Cerdà, just outside the limits of the Barcelona municipality.
Location
The stations' two sets of platforms, separated by about 200 meters, are both located under the Gran Via de les Corts Catalanes in the municipality of L'Hospitalet de Llobregat. Unlike other Barcelona Metro interchange stations, there is no direct connection and passengers have to transfer between lines on the street.
Ildefons Cerdà
The FGC station is physically located between the streets of Carrer de l'Alhambra and Carrer Modern. The station features a single entrance hall with fare gates on the Espanya side of the platforms, with two accesses on the Gran Via.[1]
Ciutat de la Justícia
The Line 10 platforms are located beneath the intersection between Carrer de Victoria Kent and the Gran Via. A long entrance hall connects the two accesses on the Gran Via, on each side of the Ciutat de la Justícia buildings.[2]
History
Ildefons Cerdà
The station is named after the nearby Plaça d'Ildefons Cerdà, at the border between the Barcelona and Hospitalet city limits. It entered operation on March 2, 1987, with the inauguration of the new underground layout of the Llobregat-Anoia Line between the stations of Sant Josep and Espanya.[3]
Ciutat de la Justícia
The station is named after the Ciutat de la Justícia complex, which it serves. It was inaugurated as an infill station on November 23, 2019. The southern branch of Line 10, on which the station is located, had already been in service since September 2018. As other stations on the Line 9/10 project, the station was built within the bored tunnel on two levels, with an upper and lower platform.[4]
