What I can see

“Victoria” is a listed station, designed by Emmanuel Lazaridis, and is popular for its blue-green tiles and art deco aesthetics. The station’s white signs are from Germany and the structure of the station is similar to those in Berlin. During its recent restoration the staircases, inscriptions, and the old clock were preserved. The excessively worn out tiles were replaced with newer ones, and this difference is visible. This highlights the original architectural character of the station, as well as its recent renovation.

 

What I can't see

The name of the station comes from the homonymous square right above, which was named in honour of Queen Victoria of England. It is a station serving large population flows from the areas of Agios Panteleimon, Amerikis Square, Fokionos Negri, most especially the students of the Athens University of Economics and Business.
