Cruz y Ortiz arquitectos is an architectural studio founded by Antonio Cruz Villalón and Antonio Ortiz García. Cruz y Ortiz was founded in 1974 with headquarters in Seville, in Amsterdam since 2001, and in Madrid since 2015. The office also collaborates with other partner firms in many European countries as well as in Mexico, China, and Lebanon.

After their first years with works and projects in Spain, their activity spread to other European countries such as Germany, Switzerland or The Netherlands. Along these years, many different projects have been developed. Among the most outstanding ones, we find Santa Justa Railway Station in Seville, Madrid and Seville Stadiums in Spain, Basel Railway Station in Switzerland or The New Rijksmuseum in The Netherlands. Other important works are the Spanish Pavilion for the Expo in Hannover or the Public Library Infanta Elena in Seville. At present (2017) the office is in charge of the design and construction of the Atlético de Madrid Football Club new stadium.
