Universidad (Madrid)

Universidad, originally known as Barrio de Maravillas, is a neighborhood in the Centro district of Madrid. Its precise boundaries were historically defined by Calle de San Bernardo, Calle de San Vicente Ferrer, Calle de Fuencarral, and Calle de Carranza—streets that once belonged to the former Parroquia de Maravillas. Today, due to confusion with the Barrio de Universidad, its limits have been expanded to include Calle de Princesa, Gran Vía, Fuencarral, Carranza, and Alberto Aguilera.

Since the late 20th century, the area has been commonly associated with Malasaña, though there is no consensus on its exact geographical scope. However, Malasaña does not hold any official recognition. The neighborhood gets its name from the Caserón de San Bernardo, the former seat of the University of Madrid, located on Calle de San Bernardo.

It is 0.947641 km² in size. As of 1 July 2019, it has a population of 32,866.
