Chamberí, defunct metro station on the Line 1 of the Madrid Metro
Chamberí is a decommissioned metro station located deep underground in Madrid, sitting approximately 50 feet (15 meters) below street level. The station has been closed since 1966 and retains its original platform and infrastructure from that era.
The station opened in the early 1900s as part of Madrid's expanding metro network. It was closed in 1966 when the metro line was rerouted, and has remained unused ever since.
The site is not open to the general public and visits are only possible through special guided tours. Check ahead for current tour schedules and availability before planning your visit.
This is one of the few preserved locations where you can see the original construction and design of Madrid's early metro system firsthand. The station attracts architects and urban planners interested in studying its untouched original structure and engineering details.
