Casa de l'Aigua is a station on Line 11 of the Barcelona Metro. It is located in the neighborhood of la Trinitat Nova, in the Nou Barris district of Barcelona. Opened along the rest of the line in 2003, the station is located only about 300 meters away from the line's terminus in Trinitat Nova. In 2024, it was the least used station in the whole Barcelona Metro network. ^[1]

Location

The station is named after the nearby Casa de l'Aigua  [ ca ] complex, a former water pumping station now preserved as an industrial heritage site. The station is underground, beneath Pas d'Antonio Cuadrillero on the foothills of the Collserola mountain range that overlooks la Trinitat Nova neighborhood in Nou Barris. The station is a mere 300 meters away from the Line 11 terminus at Trinitat Nova, with the underground depot shared by Line 4 and Line 11 sitting between them.

The station has a single, step-free, street-level access in Carrer de Vila-real, just above Carrer d'Aiguablava.

History

The station was opened on December 14, 2003, like the rest of Line 11. ^[2] It was built with only one track and one platform, which is used by trains travelling in both directions. In 2008, platform screen doors were installed on the station's platforms to allow for automated operation, which would begin in 2009. ^[3] In 2024, Casa de l'Aigua was the least used station in the Barcelona Metro network according to official TMB data, with 46.884 passengers. TMB CEO Xavier Flores pointed to the station's proximity to Trinitat Nova to explain Casa de l'Aigua's low passenger volume. ^[4]
