The station can be accessed from Carrer Jaume Pinent, Carrer de les Torres and Parc de Roquetes, near Carrer Vidal i Guasch. It's a mixture of a ground-level station with the current deepest sub-surface platform in the system. The single island platform is flanked by two tracks.[1][2][3]

The station was opened on October 4, 2008, when the section of line L3 from Canyelles station to Trinitat Nova station was inaugurated.[2][3]

The current Roquetes station should not be confused with Via Júlia station, on L4, which was known as Roquetes before 1999.[4]
