Goya metro station
Line 2 and Line 4 · Zone A · Salamanca
Goya station
The Line 2 platforms were inaugurated on 14 June 1924, as part of the first section between Sol and Ventas, and came into service two days later. On 17 September 1932 the line split here: half the trains carried on towards Ventas and the other half went to Diego de LeónES. On 23 March 1944 Line 4 arrived, with its first section from Argüelles, and on 2 October 1958 Line 2 lost that branch, which was handed over to Line 4.
The station is named after Calle Goya, the street dedicated to the painter Francisco de Goya, and the Line 4 platforms display copies of his engravings. A recent refurbishment brought yellow Vitrex panels and lifts. There are three ticket halls (Conde de Peñalver, Felipe II and General Díaz Porlier), and on 1 April 2017 the special hours of those that used to close at 21:40 were scrapped. The Line 4 platforms were closed from 13 January to 6 March 2020 for works.
