804 Hispania is a minor planet orbiting the Sun. It was discovered from Barcelona (Spain) on 20 March 1915 by Josep Comas Solá (1868–1937), the first asteroid to be discovered by a Spaniard.
This is a C-type carbonaceous asteroid. Measurements made with adaptive optics at the W. M. Keck Observatory put the size of this object at 122 km. This is 30% smaller than the size estimated from the IRAS observatory data. It has a size ratio of 1.16 between its major and minor axes.[4]
