Madrid - Royal Academy of History Real Academia de la Historia

A severely Classical building of granite ashlar and red brick, the Royal Academy of History was erected in 1788 by Juan de Villanueva, who was also responsible for the Prado, the Jardín Botànico and other buildings in Madrid. The Academy's library, with more than 200,000 books and manuscripts, can stand comparison with the Spanish National Library.
