Torrassa station
Torrassa opened on 22 December 1983 on Line 1, beneath Avinguda de Catalunya in L’Hospitalet de Llobregat. More than thirty years later, on 12 February 2016, it became an interchange when the southern part of the shared section of Line 9 Sud and Line 10 Sud arrived; the two lines run together along this stretch.
With the opening of L9 in 2016, a new entrance with a lift and escalators was also opened at the corner of Avinguda de Catalunya and Carrer d’Almeria. The station’s entrances are spread between Avinguda de Catalunya and Rosalía de Castro. On L1 it lies between FloridaES and Santa EulàliaES.
