Latina, Administrative district in southwestern Madrid, Spain
Latina is an administrative district in southwestern Madrid that spans seven neighborhoods and covers a substantial area of the southern metropolitan region. The district was formed during the 1970s urban expansion and integrated former independent towns and rural areas into the growing city.
The district was created in 1971 when Madrid expanded its southern boundaries and incorporated several suburban municipalities. This transformation shaped the modern character and population patterns of the area.
The Military Aeronautics Museum in Cuatro Vientos showcases Spain's aviation history through an extensive collection of historical aircraft and technical exhibits.
The district connects to central Madrid through several metro lines, particularly Line 5 with stations like Aluche and Campamento. Good public transport links make it easy to reach other neighborhoods and the city center.
Cuatro Vientos, Spain's first military airfield from 1911, is located within the district and still operates as a general aviation airport. The facility represents an important chapter in the nation's aviation heritage.
