House of Calderón de la Barca, Literary residence in Calle Mayor, Madrid, Spain
The two-story building features a narrow facade with a single balcony overlooking the main street of Madrid's historic center.
Pedro Calderon de la Barca lived and died in this principal floor residence on May 25, 1681, during Spain's Golden Age period.
The facade displays a marble plaque and relief bust commemorating Calderon as a poet, priest, and Knight of the Order of Santiago.
The structure stands at number 61 Calle Mayor, near Puerta del Sol, and currently contains residential apartments accessible to inhabitants.
The building narrowly escaped demolition in 1859 through public intervention, resulting in the addition of two upper floors instead.
