| Summary: | In the middle of the 19th century scarcely a single town in Spain had its own school building, and most of the existing ones lacked the minimum conditions necessary for teaching. During the Sexenio Democrático (1868-1874), the progressive liberalist wing promoted the construction of schoolbuildings, launching a call for models of primary state schools in 1869. The significance of this call was such that it could be considered as the early dawn of Spanish school architecture, even if the ensuing process and results are debatable. The construction of the Escuela Modelo in Madrid, the Escuelas Aguirre in Cuenca and Madrid, and the Jardines de la Infancia – the first Froebelian institution in Spain, also located in the capital – can be considered to have derived from this contest from 1869. |
