Madrid - Casa Panadería

On the north side of the Plaza Mayor stands the Casa Panadería (1590) with its two towers. Formerly the city's official bread distribution point, it boasts a large coat of arms over its balcony. Opposite it stands the Casa de la Carnicería, the former butchers shop, also flanked by two towers. The equestrian statue of Philip III, which was designed by Giambologna and cast in 1613 by Pietro Tacca in Florence, originally stood in the Casa del Campo but was transferred to the square in 1847.
