The Complutense University of Madrid is a public research university located in Madrid. Founded in Alcal in 1293 (before relocating to Madrid in 1836), it is one of the oldest operating universities in the world. It is located on a sprawling campus that occupies the entirety of the Ciudad Universitaria district of Madrid, with annexes in the district of Somosaguas in the neighbouring city of Pozuelo de Alarcon. It is named after the ancient Roman settlement of Complutum, now an archaeological site in Alcala de Henares, just east of Madrid. It enrols over 86,000 students, making it the third-largest non-distance European university by enrollment.
