Tribunal is a station on Line 1 and Line 10 of the Madrid Metro. Originally opened under the name Hospicio, it has been operating since 1919. It is located in Zone A.^[1]

History

The station opened in 17 October 1919 and was one of the first 8 stations on the network. It was originally called Hospicio and was named after the Real Hospicio de San Fernando, located on Calle Fuencarral near the metro's entrance. It was later renamed Tribunal, after the Tribunal de Cuentas, also located on Calle Fuencarral near the metro's entrance.^[2]

The Line 10 platforms opened on 18 December 1981 as part of the Carabanchel – Chamartín de la Rosa suburbano railway then operated by FEVE, which shortly afterwards was transferred to the Community of Madrid.
