Headquarters of the Royal Asturian Mining Company, Historical mining company headquarters in Plaza de España, Madrid, Spain.
The Headquarters of the Royal Asturian Mining Company is a four-story building at Plaza de España in Madrid combining stone and brick facades with varied architectural details. The exterior displays mansard roofs, arched windows, and ornamental decorations characteristic of eclectic design.
The building was constructed between 1896 and 1899 under architect Manuel Martínez Ángel's direction as the main office of the Royal Asturian Mining Company. It arose during a period when Spain sought to showcase its major mining enterprises in the capital.
Today the building houses an auditorium and exhibition spaces managed by Fundación Mutua Madrileña. These rooms serve the public as a venue for cultural events and gatherings.
The building is located at Plaza de España 8 and Bailén Street 1 in central Madrid. Visitors can admire the exterior architecture at any time and should explore the nearby public squares to understand the site within its urban setting.
From 1899 to 1957, historian Elías Tormo lived in this building and wrote numerous works about Madrid's history from his residence here. His research shaped understanding of the city and remains relevant for those interested in local history.
