Casa de la Panadería, Baroque municipal building in Plaza Mayor, Madrid, Spain
The Casa de la Panadería features a symmetrical facade with arched windows, balconies, and painted murals depicting mythological figures on its exterior walls.
Built between 1617 and 1619 under architect Juan Gómez de Mora, this structure initially served as the main bakery supplying bread to Madrid's royal court.
The building currently functions as a cultural center, hosting art exhibitions and municipal events in the heart of Madrid's historic district.
