Iglesia [iˈɣlesja] is a station on Line 1 of the Madrid Metro.[1]

History

[edit]

The station opened on 17 October 1919 and is one of the first 8 stations on the network. It had been originally called "Martínez Campos" before it was renamed "Iglesia" (Church) in the 1920s, for the nearby Iglesia de Santa Teresa y Santa Isabel. It is less than 500 m (550 yd) from the closed Chamberí station which is now a museum.
