A Madrid city palace is known as the Palacio Bauer , which today houses the singing college (as part of the music college).
The building is on the corner of calle San Bernardo and calle Pez. The former residence of the Marqueses de Mejorada was acquired towards the end of the 19th century by Ignacio Bauer (1827–1895), who had represented the Parisian house of Rothschild in Spain since 1853 . He entrusted the decoration of the previously vacant and neglected building to the artists Arturo Mélida y Alinari and Mariano Benlliure, among others . For several decades the palace was the location of large parties and balls .
In the wake of the Great Depression and the Spanish Civil War , however, this heyday came to an end. The Spanish government acquired the building in 1940 for the purposes of the Ministry of Education. Since then it has been used in various functions for university music lessons.
