Historic Pacifico Lobby
Pacífico station is part of the extension of line 1 between Atocha and Puente de Vallecas, inaugurated in 1923. The lobby served until 1966, when, with the extension of the platforms from 60 to 90 meters to accommodate 6-car trains and the opening of two new accesses, it was closed, having lost its original function.
In 2008 it was restored and can be visited by the public as part of Metro de Madrid’s suburban museums. The original project, the work of the award-winning architect Antonio Palacios, contemplated an octagonal, vaulted lobby with a central skylight, which was modified by the current rectangular floor plan with strong buttresses that divide it into three sections and three more vaults, with smaller skylights in their centers.
As the museum is part of the Metro network, a valid transport ticket is required to access the Museum.
- Each month's visits are available during the last week of the current month.

what will you feel with
Historic Pacifico Lobby?
METRO DE MADRID, a century-old company, has been recovering an important part of its historical heritage, creating a sort of "dispersed museum" through which it has been disseminating its history since its inauguration in 1G1G.
The suburban museums are spaces of unquestionable historical value, designed, among others, by the famous architect Antonio Palacios. Chamberí Station, Nave de Motores and Vestíbulo de Pacífico are some of its exponents. It also has a permanent exhibition of the first classic trains that ran on the metropolitan network.
In addition to this legacy are the archaeological remains found in the works of the subway at the Ópera station and musealized as Los Caños del Peral.
