El Pozo Station is a Cercanías station in Vallecas neighborhood (Madrid). It was opened on July 15, 1992, and it is located in El Pozo area. It belongs to lines C-2 and C-7 of Cercanías Madrid.
On the morning of March 11, 2004, a double-decker commuter train exploded with two bombs at this station, thus killing 68 people. It was later discovered that the Islamic terrorist cell Al-Qaeda was behind the attack.[1] In 2011, a monument made by the architect José María Pérez González with the collaboration of several Spanish artists, including Juan Genovés, Forges, and Andrés Rábago García, was inaugurated near the station in memory of those who died in the attacks of March 2004.[2]
