The Metro Station Acoyte is a station of line A of Buenos Aires Underground and is part of the section Rio de Janeiro - Caballito (now Primera Junta), which opened on July 14, 1914 as the extension. The subway station is located below Avenida Rivadavia at the intersection with Avenida Acoyte / Avenida José Mariano Moreno. The station (or the eponymous street) is named after the battle of Acoyte , in which on February 11, 1818 a small group of gauchos under Bonifacio Ruiz de los Llanos allegedly defeated 200 men of the Spanish army under Pedro Antonio Olañeta .

Like most of the underground stations on the route, this station also had two 100-meter-long side platforms. Black-blue was chosen as the color code for the platform furniture, pillars and decorative strips, while the walls were tiled in white.
