Calle Almazán, 16  La Latina, Madrid 28011

La Latina District covers an area of 2,542.97 hectares and runs parallel to the Extremadura road to the southwest of the capital. It borders with the districts of Carabanchel, Arganzuela, Centro and Moncloa - Aravaca and includes the quarters of Los Cármenes, Puerta del Ángel, Lucero, Aluche, Campamento, Cuatro Vientos and Las Águilas. Latina District must not be confused with La Latina Quarter, which is located inside the Central District. They share the same name because both of them are named after Beatriz Galindo, La Latina, a humanist who was a friend of Isabella I of Castile, and hence her nickname La Latina. The Bridge of Segovia, which joins the historical centre with the southeast of Madrid was built in 1574 during the reign of Felipe I. It is the work of the architects Gaspar de Vega and Juan de Herrera.
