Chamberí, Administrative district in central Madrid, Spain.

The area contains six distinct neighborhoods including Gaztambide, Arapiles, Trafalgar, Almagro, Ríos Rosas, and Vallehermoso, covering 4.69 square kilometers of urban space.

The district emerged during Madrid's expansion in the 1860s through the Castro Plan, transforming agricultural fields into residential blocks with wide streets and organized layouts.

The Sorolla Museum preserves the former residence of painter Joaquín Sorolla, displaying his artworks and personal collections within a Mediterranean-style garden setting.

The district maintains three municipal markets - Guzmán el Bueno, Vallehermoso, and Chamberí Market - where residents purchase fresh produce and local specialties.

The Andén Cero-Estación de Chamberí, a former metro station from 1919, now functions as a museum showcasing original advertisements and railway equipment from that period.
