Constitutional Court of Spain, Constitutional court at Domenico Scarlatti Street, Madrid, Spain
The Constitutional Court serves as Spain's highest judicial body for constitutional matters and operates from a multi-story building at number 6 Calle Domenico Scarlatti in Madrid. The facility houses hearing rooms for public sessions, archives for legal documents, and offices for judges and administrative staff.
After the end of the Franco dictatorship and the approval of the new constitution in 1978, the Court was established by law and began its work officially. In September 1981, it moved into its current building after initially operating from temporary locations in Madrid.
The building stands on a street named after Italian composer Domenico Scarlatti, who lived and worked at the Spanish royal court during the 18th century. This connection links the legal present with Madrid's musical past.
The general registry accepts document submissions from Monday to Friday between 09:30 and 15:00, except on public holidays and special dates. Visitors should note that the building has security screening at the entrance and certain areas require prior authorization to access.
Citizens can submit constitutional appeals online through a digital platform without needing to appear in person at the building. This system allows applicants from all parts of Spain to file their requests directly and electronically.
