Diario ABC S.L is a Spanish newspaper that was founded in Madrid on January 1 1903. ABC started as a weekly newspaper until it turned daily in June 1905.
ABC is known for defending the Spanish monarchy, and was seized in 1936 by Frente Popular (Popular Front) when the Spanish Civil War started. During the civil war ABC published two different versions, one from each ideological side. When the war was over, ABC in Madrid was given back to its legitimate owners and once again became the largest newspaper in Spain.
Today, ABC is the third largest newspaper in Spain, and the oldest newspaper in Madrid.
