Could somebody tell me what a spanish person would call a "Conservatory" as in a room built mainly of glass. "conservatorio "appears to relate to music, and "una habitacion adicional acristalada" that came up on the translator seems absolutely accurate but a bit of a mouthful. thanks neil.

I put "el conservatorio" in the translator and it said, "room specifically for the fine arts". It also mentions a greenhouse which would be more of what you are talking about. If you want to check it out, sometimes putting the Spanish word in your image online search box can give you an idea if you are on the right track.

Sometimes if you put the English word in and then click the words that the translator gives you in Spanish, you can figure it out from the Spanish to English exlanations.

I typed in terraza acristilada and got this image and many like it:

Conservatorio, two meanings:

1 a place used to conserve (keep) thing(s)

2 a place (establishment, usually official) where music and other related arts are taught.

Invernadero-- greenhouse, glasshouse. ( For plants rather than music).
