Grand Cross Of The Order Of Civil Merit
The Royal Order of Civil Merit (; Abbr.: OMC) is a knighthood and one of the three preeminent orders of merit bestowed by the Kingdom of Spain, alongside the Order of Charles III (established in 1771) and the Order of Isabella the Catholic (established in 1815). Each of the three orders aims to reward a distinct type of achievement.

It was, therefore, founded as a modern order of merit, dedicated to acknowledging exceptional deeds for the benefit of civil society. Royal Decree 2396/1998 ...
