The station is named after the neighborhood of the Nou Barris district it serves. Ciutat Meridiana is one of the most remote neighborhoods in Barcelona, bordering the municipality of Montcada i Reixac on the hills of Collserola. The historically disconnected neighborhood is characterized by tall, high-density apartment buildings on the hilly terrain.
The station is located deep under the streets of Carrer del Pedraforca and Avinguda dels Rasos de Peguera. The station's only access is found next to the intersection of these two streets.
Due to the hilly terrain of Ciutat Meridiana, the station is the deepest on Line 11 at 50 meters deep.
History
Ciutat Meridiana was opened on December 14, 2003, like the rest of Line 11.[1] The station has only one track and one platform, as Casa de l'Aigua.
Due to the hilly topography of Ciutat Meridiana, the station had to be built at a depth of 50 meters. 3 elevators allow passengers to move between the station's fare gates and the platform. It was the deepest station on the network until 2008, when Roquetes opened on Line 3.
