Hello!

I'm here again after my splendid holidays!.

Few days ago, I told you something about the huge scupltures standing on Legazpi and Cadiz Squares.
Now, I know more about these scupltures.

They stood originally over the roof of the Agriculture Department, just in front of Atocha Station.
Their weight was very heavy (as they are made of stone), so, two copies were made of bronze and plazed over the roof, and the original ones were taken to Legazpi and Cadiz Squares.

Happy New Year!

Hey totx, I have never seen the originals in Plaza de Legazpi and C�diz (as far as I can recall) but the "Ministerio de Agricultura" (Agriculuture Ministry)...



... is one of my favorite buildings in Madrid and without a doubt one of the more beautiful.

Saludos,
