The L6 is a metro line of the Barcelona Metro .
history
In 1863 the above-ground railway line between Barcelona Plaça Catalunya and Sarrià was opened. Today's Metro de Vallès was moved underground in 1929 and extended to the north. In 1976 an extension was made between Sarrià and the Reina Elisenda station. Due to renovation work at Sarrià station, the L6 was withdrawn there in 2016. The Sarrià – Reina Elisenda section has since been served by the new L12 metro line.
