The station was opened on 19 December 1980 as the eastern terminus of the extension of the line from Náměstí Míru.

[1] The station is a three-bore buttressed tunnel with ten pairs of boarding and deboarding accesses.

Behind the station are two hold yards and one reverse track capable of storing an entire train.

Extension of the A-line to the Strašnická Station was achieved by boring tunnels from these auxiliary spaces.

The lower spaces of the station have been subject to leaks which have in turn caused rust on the aluminum panels.
