The Vice President of the Junta de Andalucía, Antonio Sanz, and the president of the Círculo de Artistas de Ronda, Ángel Harillo, accompanied by the mayor of the city, María de la Paz Fernández, have signed the agreement for the transfer of different areas of this historic building where the symbols of Andalusia were approved in the assembly held in January 1918. Notably, the agreement was signed on the same table used by Blas Infante to ratify the agreements of that assembly.

The agreement stipulates that the Fundación Pública Andaluza Centro de Estudios Andaluces will be responsible for highlighting the history of Andalusia in these facilities located in the heart of the city of Tajo, which were so important in the development of Andalusianism. Specifically, the office of Blas Infante, the library, and the main hall on the first floor will be enhanced. A space will be created for an exhibition area with various historical documents about those times and subsequent development.

In addition to the adaptation of the facilities, the project also includes the implementation of activities by the Centro de Estudios Andaluces, the launch of the exhibition area, and finally, the offering of guided tours open to the public which will allow people to learn about this part of the history of Andalusia. The process is expected to be completed by the end of this year.

"The Andalusian identity began to take shape here," pointed out Antonio Sanz, who expressed great satisfaction in being able to start this project in such an emblematic place for all of Andalusia, describing it as a "very important agreement."

For his part, Daniel Harillo noted that "it is an especially significant day for the Círculo de Artistas," while he recalled the importance of the events that took place there for Andalusian history. In this regard, he stated that "it is an act of responsibility with our history."

Meanwhile, the mayor of Ronda described this agreement as "very important for our land," while expressing her satisfaction that the Centro de Estudios Andaluces is reaching the town in this way. "This is where Andalusianism began," Fernández emphasized.

Additionally, in 2024 the building received the classification of a Site of Cultural Interest (BIC) to further increase the protection of such a prominent historical building.
