history
Catalunya was opened as a subway station for 1924 for today's line L3 , the L1 was added in 1926. The station for the railroad was built in 1931 when the Ferrocarril del Norte extended its underground line from Saragossa from its previous terminus Estació del Norte to Plaça de Catalunya in order to advance into the center of the city. At the end of the 1960s, the tunnel - called the Meridiana tunnel - was extended to the west and merged with the Aragó tunnel , which ran north , to create a connection to the new Barcelona-Sants main train station, which opened in 1970 .
