Leganés, Metropolitan municipality south of Madrid, Spain.
The municipality extends over 43 square kilometers at an elevation of 666 meters, forming part of Madrid's southern industrial and residential zone.
From a small hamlet in 1280, Leganés transformed into a villa in 1627 under King Philip IV's decree, marking its administrative independence.
The Museum of Sculpture displays large-format works from Spanish artists in outdoor spaces across the municipality, offering public access to contemporary art.
Six train stations connect Leganés to central Madrid through Cercanías line C5 and Metrosur, providing transportation for its 189,000 residents.
Parquesur, constructed in the 1990s, ranks among Europe's largest shopping centers, featuring 151,200 square meters of retail and entertainment space.
