State Public Library Anxel Casal in Santiago de Compostela

This public library is the main library of Santiago de Compostela, capital city of Galicia, a region on northwestern Spain. The seven-floor building has 5809 m2 and follows a project from Spanish architect Andres Perea, whose first aim was to create a functional and comfortable building.
Anxel Casal (1895-1936) was publisher and major of Santiago de Compostela during Spain’s 2nd Republic (1931-1936).
On the ground floor, the lobby shares room with the periodicals section, the exhibition room and the multi-purpose hall.
