Original – Cybele Palace, originally the headquarters of the postal service in Madrid. It was home to the Postal and Telegraphic Museum until 2007 when the building became the Madrid City Hall. It was declared Bien de Interés Cultural in 1993. In the foreground is the Cibeles Fountain, which was named after the goddess Cybele and designed by Ventura Rodríguez between 1777 and 1782. Both are located in the Plaza de Cibeles.

Reason: High technical quality, good view of an important part of Spanish architecture

Comment – Impressive structure. (Should the asphalt in the foreground be cropped a bit?) However, Cybele Palace is a two-paragraph stub; one has to read Plaza de Cibeles to find out the palace was built in 1909. Sca (talk) 13:06, 16 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Support Looks good to me, although I do agree with above, the stub makes the EV low, but good enough for now. Mattximus (talk) 20:24, 16 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
