Ciudad Universitaria
sector, Madrid, Spain
Ciudad Universitaria, a northern sector of Madrid. The 16th-century Universidad de Madrid (then the Universidad de Alcalá de Henares) was moved to the San Bernardo neighbourhood of Madrid in 1836; it was again relocated in the late 1920s to its present site. Destroyed during the Spanish Civil War, it has since been rebuilt. Flanked by the Sierra de Guadarrama, the “city” includes the faculties of political science, economics and commerce, philosophy and letters, law, medicine, science, pharmacy, and veterinary medicine. Along the Calle (street) de la Princesa, leading from the university to the centre of Madrid, are student residences.
