Terminus
It takes its name from the Santuario de los Mártires (Sanctuary of the Martyrs) built on top of Cerro del Tesoro near the station. Its logo is a stylized image of the controversial temple with its monumental dome highlighted by a cross.
It serves the Nueva España, Balcones de Santa María and Fraccionamiento Cerro del Tesoro neighborhoods.
History
Tesoro railway station before being renamed.
The original name of the station was Tesoro railway station due to its proximity to the intersection of Avenida del Tesoro that leads to the homonymous hill. The name change was made by the Government of Jalisco in the six-year period 2007-2013 under the influence of the Archdiocese of Guadalajara to encourage "religious tourism" to the Sanctuary in honor of the Mexican Martyrs.[1] Its original logo was the image of a chest with coins, representing a treasure.
