History and construction
Misterios' pictogram is based on one of the Mysteries of the Rosary located in Calzada de los Misterios (Joyful Mystery: The Annunciation pictured)

Line 5 of the Mexico City Metro was built by Grupo ICA.[6] During the early excavations, a road that connected Tenochtitlan with the Tepeyac hill was found in the Valle Gómez–Misterios stretch. The road was built with materials dated from the Mesoamerican Postclassic Period.[7] Misterios is an underground station that was opened on 1 July 1982,[8] on the first day of the La Raza–Pantitlán service.[9] The interstation stretch between La Raza and Misterios goes from surface to underground; the Misterios–Valle Gómez tunnel is 969 m (3,179 ft) long.[10]

The station is named after the Calzada de los Misterios,[2] an avenue in Mexico City that connects the Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe with the Paseo de la Reforma Avenue, and it has 15 hermitages built in the 17th century that reference the Mysteries of the Rosary;[11][12] the station's pictogram represents one of those hermitages.[2]
