The stations of Rome's Metro C

Map of 7 locations in Rome, Italy

Rome's newest metro line spent thirteen years tunnelling under the most excavated ground in Europe, and the result is a railway where two stations double as museums and the rest are plain suburban boxes on a converted narrow-gauge alignment. Italian Wikipedia states the whole line is free of architectural barriers, which holds for getting from street to platform, though the transfer to Line A at San Giovanni is a different matter. This runs the stations from the Colosseum end outwards, with what is actually on display, what opened when, and where the step-free promise breaks down.
