The Palace of Fomento (Spanish: Palacio
de Fomento), also known as the Ministry of Agriculture Building, is a
nineteenth-century office building in Madrid, Spain. Designed
by Ricardo Velázquez Bosco, it is on a
prominent site opposite Atocha railway station.
The building's name has changed over the years reflecting the
official name of the Ministry which occupies it. It was originally occupied
by the Ministerio de Fomento (Ministry of Public Works
and Transport). For most of its life the building has been the seat of the
Agriculture Ministry, and the words "Ministerio de Agricultura" are
prominently displayed in a cartouche on the facade.
In 2008, the Agriculture Ministry merged with the Environment
Ministry. The building houses civil servants belonging to the current Ministry of
Agriculture, Food and Environment (Ministerio de Agricultura,
Alimentación y Medio Ambiente).
