Why is it feminine?

Patria is feminine because it derives from the Latin feminine noun "patria" (feminine form of "patrius," meaning "of the father"), which itself came from "pater" (father); the suffix "-ia" typically produces feminine nouns in both Latin and Spanish. The word's gender was preserved through the Romance language evolution from Latin to Spanish.
