Residencia de Estudiantes, Cultural center and student residence in Altos del Hipódromo, Madrid, Spain
The Residencia de Estudiantes occupies several Neo-Mudéjar style buildings with gardens, meeting rooms, libraries, and residential spaces for students and researchers.
Founded in 1910 by the Committee for the Development of Studies and Scientific Research, this institution became a center for Spanish modernization until 1939.
Federico García Lorca, Luis Buñuel, and Salvador Dalí formed strong connections at this residence, which hosted lectures by international intellectuals between wars.
The residence provides accommodation for students and researchers while maintaining regular cultural programs, conferences, exhibitions, and academic meetings throughout the year.
After receiving the European Heritage Label in 2014, the center maintains its dual function as both an educational residence and a platform for cultural exchange.
