Omonia Station is a key underground station of the Athens metro, which is located below Omonia Square in the center of the city. It is a connecting station of line 1 with line 2. It took its name from Omonia Square and the surrounding area of the same name.
The first station opened in 1895, but was relocated underground and redesigned by the Hellenic Electric Railways (which operated Line 1 at the time) in 1930. In January 2000 the additional platforms for Line 2 were opened.
