General Archive of the Indies Memory of Spanish transatlantic trade

The General Archive of the Indies (Archivo General de Indias) in Seville is much more than just a repository of documents: the building itself has been a historic monument and a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1987.

Designed by Juan de Herrera, the former Lonja de Mercaderes (Merchants' Exchange) is a masterpiece of Spanish Renaissance architecture. Its austere and elegant style makes it a perfect setting for the millions of documents it houses. The UNESCO classification highlights not only the importance of its collection for universal history, but also its architectural value and its role as a witness to the power of the Spanish Empire.
