The most important literary award in the Spanish language

The Paraninfo is the University Assembly Hall, the academic theatre, the place where the university’s most important ceremonies are held; the most famous of these being the Doctorate exam. Nowadays, on the 23rd April each year (International Book Day), this is the setting for the presentation of the Cervantes Award for Literature by the King and Queen of Spain. The room contains the names of all those writers that have received this award, accompanied by a bronze portrait of each one.
