In 2012, he was awarded with 2012 Prince of Asturias Award for the Arts. According to the jury, Moneo is ''a Spanish architect of universal scope whose work enriches urban spaces with an architecture that is serene and meticulous. An acknowledged master in both the academic and professional field, Moneo leaves his own mark on each of his creations, at the same time as combining aesthetics with functionality, especially in the airy interiors that act as impeccable settings for great works of culture and the spirit.''〔(''Minutes of the Jury for the 2012 Prince of Asturias Award for the Arts.
