The Barajas District Board has launched the open-air cultural series 'The Castle Nights', which will take place from May 15 to June 13 at the Alameda de Osuna Castle park, offering a diverse program for all audiences.

Under the slogan 'The day ends, the show begins', the initiative includes concerts, outdoor cinema screenings, flamenco and jazz performances, contemporary circus acts, and activities designed for the whole family. All these proposals will unfold around the Alameda de Osuna Castle, a heritage site that is part of the Madrid City Council's Museum Network and one of the few remaining vestiges of 15th-century military architecture preserved in the city.
This series, promoted by the Barajas Municipal Board, collaborates with 21 DISTRITOS, the cultural revitalization program of the Culture, Tourism and Sports Area, and the Society of Performing Artists (AIE) through its AIEnRuta program, which promotes Spanish artists in new scenic spaces.
In 2024, the Madrid City Council invested 1.6 million euros to re-naturalize and improve accessibility around the castle. This investment has transformed the area, which now hosts this cultural event.

"Investments make sense when they are filled with life. This transformation now allows us to enjoy a new park and a great cultural series in spring."
