Its creation dates back to 1959, when, during a visit by President Juscelino Kubitschek, the Spanish government offered Brazil land to build the Colégio Maior Brasileiro (Brazilian Major College).

Inaugurated in 1962, Casa do Brasil functions as a student residence, promotes cultural activities such as exhibitions and conferences, offers Portuguese language instruction, and houses the Brazil-Spain Chamber of Commerce, strengthening cultural and commercial ties between the two countries.
