Villaverde, Residential district in southern Madrid, Spain.

Villaverde comprises five neighborhoods - Butarque, Los Angeles, Los Rosales, San Cristobal, and Villaverde Alto - across 20 square kilometers of urban landscape.

The district transformed from an independent municipality into a part of Madrid during the 1950s through administrative reforms by the Franco government.

The population reflects a mixture of retired residents from regions like Andalusia and Castile-León alongside newer immigrant communities seeking residential opportunities.

Multiple metro stations connect the district to central Madrid, while local markets and shops provide residents with daily necessities and fresh products.

The district maintains traces of its industrial heritage through factory buildings and workshops that shaped its development throughout the 20th century.
