Real Academia Española headquarters, Language institution headquarters in Madrid, Spain
The current Real Academia Española building features Neoclassical architecture with symmetrical proportions and classical design elements across its stone facade.
The Real Academia Española moved to this location in 1894, replacing the former palace of the Marqués de Villena where the institution held its first meetings.
The building houses an extensive collection of literary works, historical documents, and portraits of notable Spanish language scholars and writers.
Visitors can access guided tours of the premises by making advance reservations through the official website or local tourism offices.
The institution maintains precise records of every Spanish word modification since 1713, documenting the evolution of the language through centuries.
