Description

Information

Situated in the heart of the area known as Madrid de los Austrias, this neoclassical inspired building was built to house Spain's Royal Academy of Medicine by architect Luis María Cabello Lapiedra between 1910 and 1913.

The building is spread over three floors, and the assembly hall was based on the amphitheatre of the London School of Medicine, taking into account the acoustic, optical and lighting conditions. It stands on the site formerly occupied by the National Library.
