[ES] “El palacio de don Javier González-Longoria, más conocido como palacio Longoria, es un palacio modernista del principios del siglo XX. En la actualidad es la sede de la SGAE (Sociedad General de Autores y Editores).

Es obra del arquitecto José Grases Riera quien de 1902 a 1904 construyó este palacio con una libertad absoluta de diseño convirtiéndolo en el ejemplo más importante del movimiento modernista en Madrid. Fue construido por encargo del financiero Javier González Longoria. Entre sus elementos más singulares destacan: la escalera imperial circular, coronada por una cúpula, cuya vidriera es obra de la Casa Maumejean, y los dos miradores del patio que apoyan sobre columnas con forma de palmera.

En 1912 el edificio fue comprado por la Compañía Dental Española por 500.000 pesetas, como residencia para su presidente. El arquitecto Francisco García Nava realizó la reforma necesaria para albergar tanto las oficinas de la empresa como la residencia de su presidente. En 1946, los herederos vendieron el inmueble a Construcciones Civiles, que volvió a reformar el palacio. Cuatro años más tarde lo adquiere la Sociedad General de Autores de España (SGAE) por poco menos de cinco millones de pesetas.

Ha sufrido dos reformas de importancia: la del arquitecto Francisco García Nava y en la década de 1950 la del arquitecto Carlos Arniches Moltó, transformación encargada por la SGAE. Además se ha realizado una rehabilitación integral de los interiores y una restauración de la fachada —muy deteriorada en ese momento— en el año 1992, obra del arquitecto Santiago Fajardo y la colaboración de la arquitecta Ángeles Hernández-Rubio Muñoyerro.

En 2009 se anunció que la SGAE trasladaría su sede al palacio del Infante Don Luis, en Boadilla del Monte; este movimiento no tuvo lugar debido a que una sentencia judicial anuló la cesión de setenta y cinco años hecha por el Ayuntamiento de dicha localidad al atentar el proyecto de la SGAE contra los valores del palacio, que está, al igual que este, declarado Bien de Interés Cultural.”

[EN] “The Palace of Don Javier González-Longoria, better known as Palacio Longoria, is a modernist palace from the beginning of the 20th century. It is currently the headquarters of the SGAE (General Society of Authors and Publishers).

It is the work of the architect José Grases Riera who from 1902 to 1904 built this palace with absolute design freedom, making it the most important example of the modernist movement in Madrid. It was built by order of the financier Javier González Longoria. Among its most singular elements, the following stand out: the circular imperial staircase, crowned by a dome, whose stained glass window is the work of the Maumejean House, and the two patio viewpoints that rest on palm-tree-shaped columns.

In 1912 the building was bought by the Spanish Dental Company for 500,000 pesetas, as a residence for its president. The architect Francisco García Nava carried out the necessary reform to house both the company's offices and the residence of its president. In 1946, the heirs sold the property to Construcciones Civiles, which reformed the palace again. Four years later, it was acquired by the General Society of Authors of Spain (SGAE) for a little less than five million pesetas.

It has undergone two important reforms: that of the architect Francisco García Nava and in the 1950s that of the architect Carlos Arniches Moltó, a transformation commissioned by the SGAE. In addition, a comprehensive rehabilitation of the interiors and a restoration of the façade —very deteriorated at that time— have been carried out in 1992, the work of the architect Santiago Fajardo and the collaboration of the architect Ángeles Hernández-Rubio Muñoyerro.

In 2009 it was announced that the SGAE would move its headquarters to the palace of the Infante Don Luis, in Boadilla del Monte; This movement did not take place because a court ruling annulled the seventy-five-year transfer made by the City Council of said town when attacking the SGAE project against the values of the palace, which is, like this one, declared an Asset of Cultural interest.”
