Also means
over there
Usage Note
Là points to a place far from both speaker and listener, while lì indicates somewhere a bit nearer; both contrast with qui/qua ('here'). It needs the grave accent to distinguish it from la (the article 'the'). You hear it in di là (over there, that way).
Examples
"La stazione è proprio là."
