Metro Cerro de la Estrella (English: Hill of the Stars) is an underground station along Line 8 of the metro of Mexico City. The station is located along the Calzada Ermita-Iztapalapa and serves the Colonia Hidalgo y Mina neighborhood within the Iztapalapa borough on the east side of the city. The station is named for the Cerro de la Estrella – a mesoamerican archaeological site located nearby. It was opened on 20 July 1994.
The station's logo is the silhouette of a hill with three crosses on it and a star in the sky.
In spring during Easter the station sees heavy traffic for spectators who travel to Cerro de la Estrella to watch Passion of the Christ procession events.
