History
The station initially opened as part of Line 5 in 1970, as the line's section between Diagonal and Sagrera became operational.[2]
The Line 4 station opened in 1973 as the line opened between Joanic and Jaume I.
The station was initially known as General Mola, the name of the Passeig de Sant Joan during the Francoist dictatorship. The name was changed to the current Verdaguer in 1982.[3]
In November 2024, the Tram stop was opened as part of the tram network's expansion along Avinguda Diagonal. It is the current terminus of the Trambesòs T4 line, as works to extend the line to Francesc Macià are expected to begin in the coming years.[1]
Verdaguer is one of the last remaining stations in the Barcelona Metro network that isn't fully accessible to persons with reduced mobility. In 2025, works began to install elevators and make the station fully accessible.[4]
