The Instituto de Enseñanza Secundaria Lope de Vega (IES Lope de Vega) is a public high school in Madrid, Spain. It is located in the calle de San Bernardo. It is operated by the regional administration of the Community of Madrid.

History

[edit]

The institution was created during the Spanish Second Republic via a decree issued on 26 August 1933.[1] although it was not yet housed at the corner of Calle de San Bernardo with Calle de Daoíz.[2] It was one of the only 3 high schools that remained open in Madrid during the Civil War.[1][3] The school featured a pro-rebel faculty, constituting a "Nationalist" stronghold in Republican Madrid for the extent of the conflict.[3] It was the only secondary school of those created in the Spanish capital during the second republic which remained undisturbed after the war, as the rest were closed.[4]

Originally housed at a palace in Calle de Manuel Silvela, the high school was briefly located in Calle de Fortuny [es], returning to Manuel Silvela during the conflict and then moving to its current premises in Calle de San Bernardo in the early 1940s.[5][2]

The building in San Bernardo (that prior to the installment of the secondary school had housed a Normal school and the Pedagogical Museum)[5] was declared Bien de Interés Cultural on 26 March 1999.[6]
