Station Interior
In 1988, on the occasion of the 75th anniversary of the opening of the line, the restoration of the station began, including reproductions of 1913 advertising posters, new railings, original cabins, lamps, ceramic tiles and other details were restored. Even the hatches at the station were equipped in imitation of the originals that were at the station in 1914.
However, the station was rebuilt, and this time it was completely modernized as part of a project that covered the entire line A from the Ministry of Transport, initially entrusted to Metrovías, and then transferred to the state-owned company with the subsequent revision of the contract due to the economic crisis in 2001 year.
Between 2007 and 2008, a complete change was made to the wall tiles, the lighting in the 1920s style was replaced with more modern lamps and the billboards that had been restored over two decades were removed. In addition, equipment was installed with elevators for the disabled and new escalators on both platforms.
In May 2009, historical photos from the history of Line A began to appear at the station in place of old advertising posters.
