Cibeles Fountain – Spain - TR-9034 بقلم Fluffy Bear ... Cibeles Fountain is the most important symbol of Madrid. It was built at the end of the 18th Century under the orders of King Carlos III. It was designed by architect Ventura Rodríguez in marble and represents the goddess Cibeles astride a lion-drawn chariot. In her hands, she holds a scepter and the keys to the city. This Fountain has been standing in this emblematic square since 1782. The fountain is flanked by four magnificent buildings: Buenavista Palace (the Army’s General Headquarters), Linares Palace (which accommodates the Casa de América cultural institution), Cibeles Palace (previously the main Post Office, it now houses Madrid City Hall and CentroCentro cultural center), and the Bank of Spain. Very high-quality printing and rich materials. 500 strong and sturdy pieces that resist bending. Very well-cut and fully interlocking puzzle pieces. Colorful and durable.
