Chamberí: A Glimpse into Madrid's Heart

Step into the charming district of Chamberí, where history whispers through the streets and the warmth of the past envelops you. This district, nestled in the vibrant heart of Madrid, is divided into six unique neighborhoods: Gaztambide, Arapiles, Trafalgar, Almagro, Ríos Rosas, and Vallehermoso. As you walk through its avenues, you can't help but feel the echoes of the history of Chamberí come alive, woven into its very fabric.

The current urban layout was beautifully crafted as part of the Ensanche plan, brought to life by the visionary Carlos María de Castro in 1860. For lovers of culture, Chamberí is home to impressive landmarks like the Church of San Fermín de los Navarros and the renowned Malasaña area.

We invite you to add to the legacy by sharing your own snapshots—fotografías antiguas de Chamberí—at OLDPIK, a project dedicated to preserving our collective memory.
