Architects Enrique Fort and Luis Landecho designed it. The narrow façade, featuring three medallions of Alfonso X the Wise, Cervantes, and Velázquez, belies the building's spacious interior. Its facilities include reading rooms, a lecture hall, and a grand neo-Grecian auditorium by Arturo Mélida. The Athenaeum played a vital role in 19th and early 20th-century Spain as a forum for debate and a stage for free expression. The 'cacharrería' (junk room) hosted lively discussions among writers and artists, extending from afternoon till late night. Notable members include Mesonero Romanos, Castelar, Cánovas del Castillo, Unamuno, Valle-Inclán, and Manuel Azaña. The portrait collection, with works by Rosales and Madrazo, interests many, but the priceless book collection in its library, open to the public until after midnight, is even more significant, housing over 200,000 volumes.
