Banco (Barcelona Metro)
Banc, also called Banco, is a defunct metro station of the Barcelona metro. Built in 1911 as part of the first Barcelona metro line, it has never been opened to the public. History The station was built in 1911 as part of the original tunnel built in the Barcelona metro. It was named Banc (meaning bank) because it was built underneath the building of Banco de España (Bank of Spain), which today is the location of Catalunya Caixa. The station has never been opened to the public. The tunnel and platform were built before the advent of electronic trains, and the infrastructure could not support the new technology. The train passed through the station up until 1926, when it was converted to a storage facility.

Rapid Transit
Rapid transit or mass rapid transit (MRT), also known as heavy rail or metro, is a type of high-capacity public transport generally found in urban areas. A rapid transit system that primarily or traditionally runs below the surface may be called a subway, tube, or underground. Unlike buses or trams, rapid transit systems are railways (usually electric railway, electric) that operate on an exclusive right-of-way (transportation), right-of-way, which cannot be accessed by pedestrians or other vehicles, and which is often grade-separated in tunnels or on elevated railways. Modern services on rapid transit systems are provided on designated lines between rapid transit station, stations typically using electric multiple units on rail tracks, although some systems use guided rubber tires, magnetic levitation (''maglev''), or monorail. The stations typically have high platforms, without steps inside the trains, requiring custom-made trains in order to minimize gaps between train a ...

Correos (Barcelona Metro)
Correos (Spanish) or Correus (Catalan) was a former Barcelona metro station. The station site is located on what is now line L4 between the existing stations of Jaume I and Barceloneta, and under the street of Via Laietana. The station opened in 1934 as a terminus of a branch of the Gran Metro de Barcelona, Barcelona's first metro line. The Gran Metro de Barcelona came to be known as line L3 but Correos remained the terminus of a branch. The station was dismantled in 1972 to permit the extension of the line into La Barceloneta, as part of the integration of the branch into line L4. Along with Banco, it is one of the two metro stations on Via Laietana that have disappeared.

Gaudí (Barcelona Metro)
Gaudí is a defunct metro station of the Barcelona Metro. The Line 5 train continues to pass through the station. The upper lobby has been converted into an office for retired TMB workers.
