About Rios Rosas
What are the main landmarks in Rios Rosas?
Rios Rosas keeps no landmark sights of its own. Its blocks read as a working residential quarter of Madrid, though the Museo Geominero, the National Museum of Natural Sciences and the Sorolla Museum are logged among the sights around it, along with the Maudes Hospital. Little marks it out.
The great sights of Madrid, Spain, sit in other districts, leaving Rios Rosas as a place to live rather than to tour.
What is the history of Rios Rosas?
Rios Rosas came together as Madrid, Spain, built out across fresh ground. The barrio belongs to the district of Chamberí and takes its name from Antonio de los Ríos Rosas, a politician of the 19th century, while streets of housing and workshops filled it as the city expanded over successive generations of growth. Its documented past runs short.
Beyond that steady expansion, Rios Rosas carries little history set apart from the wider city.
