Longoria Palace

Longoria Palace is a three-story building featuring ornate ironwork, stained glass windows, and detailed floral carvings across its elaborately decorated exterior. The artistic design covers all visible surfaces of the structure.

The palace was built in 1904 based on designs by architect José Grases Riera for politician and financier Francisco Javier González Longoria. The structure was completed during the period when Art Nouveau was gaining prominence in Spain.

The building now serves as headquarters for the Sociedad General de Autores y Editores, an organization that represents Spanish creators and artists. Its spaces are actively used by professionals working in copyright and artistic affairs.

The building sits at the intersection of Fernando VI and Pelayo streets and is easily visible from outside, though access is restricted. Visitors can view and photograph the exterior architectural details from the street.

The building received the designation of Bien de Interés Cultural in 1996, officially recognizing it as significant to Spanish architectural heritage. This status protects the structure from alterations and honors its artistic value.
