Chamberí Ghost Station, Madrid

Chamberí Station has been out of use for years, although the Madrid Metro does still use part of the line. The station was opened in 1919 and during the Spanish Civil War, provided shelter for Madrileños during the heavy bombing by the Nationalist forces. The station was closed in 1966, but Madrid Tourism reports that in 2006 renovation work made the station into the Platform Zero museum, outlining the history of the Metro, lined with reconstructed original adverts and pretty tiles on the walls.
