Puerta del Ángel (Angel's Gate) is a station on Line 6, located beneath the Paseo de Extremadura near the Puente de Segovia (Bridge of Segovia) in the district of Latina. It is located in fare Zone A.[1] The station is named after the Puerta del Ángel neighborhood, which is in turn named after a former access gate to the Casa de Campo park.
History
The station opened to the public on 10 May 1995 when the Line 6 segment between Laguna and Ciudad Universitaria was opened, converting the line into a circular route.[2][3]
On 10 April 2006, two maintenance trains collided in the station, causing two deaths and two injuries.
Between 4 July 2015 and 13 September 2015, Puerta del Ángel functioned as a temporary terminus for Line 6 when the line was closed between Puerta del Ángel and Oporto for maintenance.[4]
