Location
editLa Castellana is located in northern Bogotá, specifically on Avenida NQS with Carrera 28/Calle 86A.
History
editIn 2005, when the second trunk of phase 2 of the system, the NQS trunk, was put into operation, this station was put into operation. In this season, the inauguration ceremony of the NQS Troncal trunk was carried out, which was attended by President Álvaro Uribe Vélez, since at that moment the trunk had not yet been completely terminated (it was operative until Santa Station Isabel).
It is one of the stations of the system, next to the Gold and Water Museum, which does not have an easy route service because, on August 1, 2008, the B5-G5 service changed its route to Calle 80, omitting this station.
On the night of April 9, 2013, attacks against this station of the system were recorded. On that occasion, the stations Avenida Chile and La Castellana de la Troncal NQS were destroyed, where they left $ 22 million pesos in losses. The station is named La Castellana due to its proximity to the educational center of the name, the neighborhood in which it is located, and the famous Teatro de La Castellana, which is located a few blocks away.
