Here you will find the Biographies and History conferences that we held in collaboration with Carmen Iglesias, the Royal Academy of History and the Cultural Foundation of the Spanish Nobility.

The 2025 cycle is dedicated to characters who lived through turbulent times in the 16th and 17th centuries, such as Miguel de Cervantes and Inca Garcilaso, among others. Through them we will discover stories of overcoming, defending ideas and reclaiming ethical principles in times of tribulation.
