Evolution of the Barcelona Metro 1863-2050 (geographic map)

The history of the Barcelona Metro starting from the opening of the Ferrocarril de Barcelona a Sarriàis in 1863 is shown in this animation.
Note:
Only the history of the FGC urban lines that later became part of the metro is shown.
The FBS line (now L6) was initially built as a surface line but was gradually moved underground. This process is not shown in the video.
L6/L7 does not integrate into the metro until 2003, but they were still considered to be "rapid transit" before the integration so it appears on the map since its inauguration in 1863.
The section of L8 was first inaugurated in 1884, but the line does not appear on the map until 1996 when the infrastructure was decided to be upgraded to the metro standard with increased speed and frequency.
