Arganzuela, Central district in Madrid, Spain.

The district spans 6.55 square kilometers along the Manzanares River, comprising seven neighborhoods with modern residential buildings and commercial zones.

During the 19th century, Arganzuela evolved from agricultural lands into an industrial area, establishing itself as a key manufacturing district of Madrid.

The Matadero Madrid complex, a former slaughterhouse, now functions as a creative space that hosts exhibitions, performances, and cultural events throughout the year.

The district connects to Madrid's public transportation network through multiple metro stations, including Legazpi, Palos de la Frontera, and Acacias stations.

Madrid Rio Park extends through Arganzuela, featuring gardens, sports facilities, and cycling paths where a highway previously divided the neighborhood.
