Campo de Cebada, Community-managed public space in La Latina, Madrid, Spain
Campo de Cebada occupies a former vacant lot in central Madrid, transformed into an open area with recreational facilities and gathering spaces for neighborhood activities.
The location evolved from an Arab cemetery to a 16th-century barley sorting square, later housing a market in 1875 and a sports center in 1968.
Local residents organize open-air cinema screenings, concerts, sports competitions, and community workshops to maintain social connections within the neighborhood.
The space includes electrical outlets, a multi-sport court, portable furniture, and shaded areas created from recycled materials for public use throughout the year.
Weekly neighborhood assemblies determine the programming and management of the space, allowing residents to directly shape their community environment.
