Estadio Vicente Calderón

  Estadio Vicente Calderón, the former home of Atlético Madrid, is nestled along the banks of the Manzanares River in the Arganzuela district. Opened in 1966, this stadium once boasted a seating capacity of over 54,000 spectators and was known for its vibrant atmosphere during football matches. Its primary purpose was to host home games for Atlético Madrid, making it a key location for lovers of the sport. Before its closure in 2017, the stadium was a hub for events, especially during the heated La Liga seasons from August to May. Visitors can still wander the surrounding area, exploring the remnants of its legacy and enjoying views of the river and nearby parks.
