The
Shot Tower/Market Place Metro Subway Station is one of 14 stops along the
Baltimore Metro Subway line. It is in the central part of the city, in close proximity to many well-known landmarks, including the
Baltimore Shot Tower for which it is named,
Port Discovery,
Power Plant Live!, the Harbor campus of
Baltimore City Community College, the
National Aquarium, the
Flag House, and
Little Italy. The station has two street-level entrances, but unlike other Baltimore Metro stations that do, both these entrances share a common gate inside the station. The Shot Tower/Market Place station is one of two stops in the third phase of the Baltimore Metro, having opened in 1995.
