70th Anniversary of the

Queen Sofía Spanish Institute

As we reflect on this special year celebrating our 70th anniversary, we want to thank our incredible community for your support since 1954. Since its founding in 1954, the QSSI has been dedicated to highlighting the contributions of the Spanish speaking world to the history and culture of the United States. This milestone anniversary celebrates the Institute’s enduring mission of fostering cultural exchange and friendship between countries. In recent years, the Institute has demonstrated its ability to adapt to modern times by creating online educational content and building a global community hosting events in different cities. Together, we look forward to continuing this mission for years to come.
