Piramide is a station on Line B of the Rome Metro. It's located across Piazzale Ostiense from the…read morePyramid of Cestius that gives the station its name, just outside Porta San Paolo, in the Ostiense quarter.
The preceding station is Garbatella going toward Laurentina, and the following station is Circo Massimo going towards Jonio or Rebibbia.
Ok the station is kinda dirty and unremarkable overall, it's a subway and a train station. Trains from here go to Ostia's beaches, but I went in the other direction to Trastevere quarter (rione) and the city centre.
The station has escalators that can be in non-working condition. It seems to be a gathering place for the homeless and drunks as well.
Little research shows that metro station was opened on February 10, 1955. The mosaics by Enrico Castellani from Italy and Beverly Pepper from the U.S., located in the atrium, have won the Artemetro Roma award.
The Porta San Paolo station for the Ferrovia Roma-Lido line runs alongside the metro station. The Stazione di Roma Ostiense, from where main lines FR1, FR3, and FR5 run, is connected to the metro station through the underpass.
