Magnificent metro stations that are a landmark in themselves (20 photos)

Underground metro stations are associated with rats, garbage, noise and dirt, and not with their interior decoration. However, there are a few metro stations around the world that go against the grain, standing out as excellent examples of the beautiful architecture and unique design that can be created in underground spaces.





Modern architecture never ceases to amaze. You've probably seen photos of a house in the shape of a piano, a floating restaurant in the shape of a whale, or a tennis court hidden under water in which real sea inhabitants swim. Yes, this is real art! But not only above-ground, but also underground architecture can surprise. This is confirmed by unique metro stations located in different parts of the world.

City Hall lamp station in New York, USA



City Hall Station is one of the most beautiful in New York. Unfortunately, it doesn't work. The rounded shape of the subway played a cruel joke on it. With the advent of modern trains, it was decided to lengthen the platforms of existing stations. It was not possible to pull off such a trick with City Hall.

The subway was closed in 1945. However, tourists can visit it at any convenient time.
