A 1889 edition of the Civil Code
  • Royal Decree of 24 July 1889

The Civil Code of Spain (Spanish: Código Civil), formally the Royal Decree of 24 July 1889 (Spanish: Real Decreto de 24 de julio de 1889) is the law that regulates the major aspects of Spanish civil law. It is one of the latest Civil Codes in continental Europe, due to the sociopolitical, religious and territorial tensions that dominated 19th-century Spain. It has been modified numerous times and remains in force to this day.
