The station is named after the nearby Piazza di Spagna: its main exit is on Vicolo del Bottino, a short stretch of road that leads to the square. Another exit, connected by a series of moving walkways, is located near Porta Pinciana and the homonymous entrance to Villa Borghese.

History

The Spagna station was built as part of the first section (from Anagnina to Ottaviano) of the Line A of the Rome Metro,[1] which came into service in 1980.[2]

The project of an interchange with the future Line D was abandoned in the autumn of 2012.

On 23 March 2019, after that Barberini was impounded for a problem with the escalators, Spagna was also closed. The closure lasted about a month and a half: in fact, the station reopened to the public at 6 pm on 7 May 2019.
