La Magdalena Contreras, Administrative district in Mexico City, Mexico

La Magdalena Contreras extends across the southwestern part of Mexico City, bordered by Álvaro Obregón, Tlalpan, and the State of Mexico.

The region was initially named Atlitic by Mexican tribes in the 13th century, and Dominican friars later established a settlement with a temple dedicated to Mary Magdalene.

The annual Holy Week celebrations in San Bernabé Ocotepec feature traditional Passion of Christ performances and religious festivities honoring patron saints.

The district administration office at Avenida Álvaro Obregón 20 provides public services to residents from Monday to Friday between 9:00 AM and 2:00 PM.

The Magdalena River, flowing through the district, remains the last natural river within Mexico City, contributing to the area's ecological preservation.
