Description
The Casa de la Panader�a (Bakery House) dominates one side of the Plaza Mayor in Madrid. The building has been remodeled several time since 1790, most notably in 1880. A contest was held in the 1988 to replace the 1914 mural. The artist Carlos Franco won with a design based on classical mythological figures including Proserpine, Cybele, Bacchus, and Cupid as well as other images representing the history of Madrid and the Plaza Mayor.
