Casa Árabe’s headquarters is located at Calle Alcalá, 62, inside the building known as the Aguirre Schools, originally built at the initiative of philanthropist Don Lucas Aguirre y Juárez through his bequest in 1886. It is a beautiful neo-Mudéjar style building designed by Emilio Rodríguez Ayuso. The building was erected in 1884, and three years later the same architect was commissioned to create the gate and garden.

Architecture Week is a yearly event organized by the Official Architects’ Association of Madrid and the COAM Architecture Foundation, with the cooperation of the Municipal Government and Autonomous Regional Government of Madrid, in order to make society more familiar with architecture and highlight the architectural heritage of our city. For ten days, architecture will take center stage with a schedule of 300 free activities that include exhibitions, events, conferences, tours of buildings, city tours aimed at all audiences, as well as children’s activities. At this edition, the nineteenth, Mexico is the guest country.
