San Fernando de Henares

San Fernando de Henares extends over 39.9 square kilometers at an elevation of 580 meters, incorporating natural areas along the Henares River.

King Philip V acquired the land in 1746 to establish a royal fabric factory, which became the foundation for developing the entire municipality.

The historic center features two connected squares, Plaza de España and Plaza de Fernando VI, surrounded by original worker residences from the 18th century.

The municipality connects to Madrid through Line 7 of the Metro system and multiple highways including A-II, M-40, and M-45.

The Castle of Aldovea, dating from the 11th century, transformed from a fortress into a palace during the 18th century renovation period.
