The aim of The Academia de España en Roma is to promote training in the arts and the humanities for creators and researchers to spread Spanish culture in Italy and foster cultural interaction between the two countries and the international community.

The library is an essential resource for Academia’s activity. It includes approx. 15.000 titles of monographic titles and specialises in Spanish art history, with particular reference to manifestations of the creative scene in contemporary Spain.

The library has some small collections of Spanish history, literature, and a musicology dedicated section, greatly enriched by composer D. Colomé’s bequest received in 2009.

The collection of periodicals includes art and humanities journals currently published in Spain, as well as many titles of journals that are no longer active. Be advised that journals and part of the monographic titles are not searchable in the online catalogue. Please ask the library office for any information on this.
