Torre Baró – Vallbona (Barcelona Metro)
Barcelona Metro station
Torre Baró | Vallbona (Catalan pronunciation: [ˈtorə βəˈɾo ˌβaʎˈβɔnə]) is a station on Line 11 of the Barcelona Metro. It is located in the neighborhood of Torre Baró, in the Nou Barris district of Barcelona. Opened along the rest of the line in 2003, the station is the halfway point of Line 11's 5 station route. The station provides a connection with the Rodalies de Catalunya station in Torre del Baró.
Location
The station is named after the two neighborhoods of the Nou Barris district it serves. Torre Baró, in which the station is actually located and the nearby neighborhood of Vallbona, which is separated from the rest of the district by a major highway right of way. The station is located between the streets of Avinguda d'Escolapi Càncer and Carrer de Sant Feliu de Codines.
Torre Baró | Vallbona is the only station in Line 11 to not be completely underground, built in a trench with an opening above the tracks. While it used to be open to the elements, the station now features a skylight over the tracks that allows daylight to illuminate the platforms during the day.
The station has two accesses, a lower one at Avinguda d'Escolapi Càncer and an upper one at Carrer de Sant Feliu de Codines.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Torre Baró – Vallbona (Barcelona Metro)” as barcelona Metro station. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the places & architecture register because the source frames it as barcelona Metro station. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
The strongest evidence will usually combine a dated visual record with documents produced by the authority responsible for the place. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 24, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q2498716. Authority coordinates are 41.460, 2.180. None of the 1 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2003.
A single description cannot reconcile every naming convention, rebuilding phase or administrative transfer associated with a place. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
