Instituto de Cultura Hispánica

The Instituto de Cultura Hispánica was a Spanish institution established in 1949 to promote Spanish language, history, and culture worldwide. Operating under the Spanish Ministry of Foreign Affairs, it organized cultural exchanges, publications, and academic collaborations to enhance Spain’s international cultural presence. The institute aimed to foster a better understanding of Hispanic heritage and strengthen diplomatic and cultural ties with other countries. It played a key role during the mid-20th century in projecting Spain's cultural influence globally before it was eventually integrated into other cultural organizations in later years.
