The Spanish Academy in Rome (Spanish: Real Academia de España en Roma) is a cultural institution created in 1873 under the Spanish Ministry of Foreign Affairs' General Directorate for Cultural and Scientific Relations.[1]
The academy's headquarters are in the cloister of the former monastery of San Pietro in Montorio, built on the Janiculum hill at the behest of Isabella of Castile and Ferdinand II of Aragon, the Catholic Monarchs, between 1481 and 1500.
The convent is part of the Trastevere district and the Tempietto de Bramante, which is part of the complex, is undoubtedly its most famous architectural work.[2]
