Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox settlement Atocha Шаблон:IPA-es is an administrative neighborhood (Шаблон:Lang) of Madrid belonging to the district of Arganzuela.

Etymology

The Atocha meadow appears as Шаблон:Lang and Шаблон:Lang in the 13th-century Madrid town charter.[1] It has been linked to Шаблон:Lang ("esparto field"), the hermitage of Our Lady of Atocha (derived from Шаблон:Transl ("Mother of God") or Шаблон:Transl) or Шаблон:Lang[2] (an earthwork with grasses to contain water, here applied to a local brook).[3]

Geography

Located in the middle of Madrid, the ward is formed by a strip between the avenue Calle de Méndez Álvaro (south-west), and the north-eastern area of Madrid Atocha railway station, that occupies great part of its territory. The northern border is at the square Plaza del Emperador Carlos V and the southern one in the avenue Calle de Pedro Bosch.

Atocha borders the districts of Centro (north), Retiro (north-east), Puente de Vallecas (south) and with the Arganzuelan wards of Palos de Moguer, Las Delicias and Legazpi.[4]

Transport

Home of Madrid Atocha, the main railway station of the city, the ward is also served by the Metro lines 1 (at Estación del Arte and Atocha stations), 6 (at Méndez Álvaro station) and by several lines of a commuter rail network named Cercanías Madrid.[5]
